Not in this lifetime, Bubba! Ho, ho! Best selling authors Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford join us this week to discuss their new lightning rod-cum-New York Times Notable book for the month of June \u201cForget The Alamo.\u201d Stanford and Burrough (along with third author Chris Tomlinson, who had a scheduling conflict) discuss the factors that led them to write their book, the differences between The Heroic Anglo Narrative and historical truths, and how The Alamo is shorthand for deep seated pain and racism for many of their Tejano brothers. The book is thoroughly sourced, well written, and thought provoking \u2013 if you read it, you\u2019ll be taken by many of their descriptions of the battle of the Alamo, and the brutality of life on The Frontier, and the making of Texas as an independent nation and as a state. It\u2019s a complicated story that has been simplified into something like a biblical parable \u2013 and no one ever gets mad about what\u2019s in The Bible do they?
