I have spent the best part of the last year catching up with the publications from Walt Brown.
Having read four volumes and the many appendices of his 'Master Chronology' series, I feel that his 'The Guns of Texas Are Upon You', from 2005, can be considered up with the best of his work.
Brown, the history Ph.D and history lecturer, really enters into his domain with this book. It is a most entertaining gallop through the American body politic. His incisive focus and humour bears on the patterns and dynamics from the 'founding fathers', the Civil War, reconstruction and on into the twentieth century, prior to presenting the reader with his condemnation of conglomerate power and LBJ acquiescence in the coup d'état of 1963.
Forget conspiracy theories! If you enjoy historical non-fiction narrative then this title is much recommended! It also fits well with the publication from Craig Zirbel back in 1992, 'The Texas Connection'.
