A 4 page book review of Randy Roberts and James S. Olson's text A Line in the Sand, the Alamo in Blood and Memory (2001). The writer argues that this is no simply an historical account of the men who died defending the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. It is this, but it is also much more, as this book also qualifies as a work of sociology and pop culture. The first half of the text details the circumstances leading up to the "siege and battle of the Alamo" within the context provided by viewing it as a "clash between two cultures and two political forces" (viii). The second half of the book continues the saga of the Alamo as it moves from being an historical event to a piece of Americana. In so doing, the authors offer a fascinating account of the role that history plays in popular culture. Throughout the text, the authors do not merely relate events, but describe circumstances and people in a manner that makes the past "come alive," to quote the cliché, but, in this case, the comment is accurate.
