William Philip King
When we talk about the Alamo, we often picture grizzled frontiersmen—Crockett, Bowie, Travis.

Trump: America's Santa Anna
As every 4th grader in Texas knows, Antonio López de Santa Anna was Mexico’s most infamous caudillo—a political strongman who rose to power again and again, only to leave his country weaker every time.
