Will "The Alamo" be Eisner's Waterloo?
This NY Times article details the troubled development of Walt Disney Company's new movie, "The Alamo."
Although not mentioned in this article, I believe that the movie is based on the Stephen Harrigan's 2001 historical novel, "Gates of the Alamo," which is an enjoyable read. However, the best book on the Battle of the Alamo in the context of the Texas Revolution is "Texian Iliad," a 1996 masterpiece written by Stephen L. Hardin, a professor of history at Victoria College in southeast Texas.
