In this historical novel,the grand scope and high drama of the Texas Revolution are re-engaged - with a new twist.For the first time, this story of heroism and sacrifice is being told from both sides of conflict.
A book richly textured with scenes from the early Texan settlements - from Spanish-influenced San Antonio to Gonzales,lying beside the scenic Guadalupe River - 'The Bugles Are Silent' gives a graphic,meticulously researched vision of the rivers and the mud,the prairies and,most importantly,the strong,sometimes obstinate, often courageous people who lived during these times.
