The Secret War for Texas by Stuart Reid
Could the British have stopped Manifest Destiny in its tracks in 1836? A Scottish doctor named James Grant was the agent who tried to make it happen, and Texas was the stage on which the secret battle was fought. This work tells the forgotten story of Dr James Grant and the twelve-year-long secret war for Texas.
".. carefully clarifies the fascinating adventure of Dr. James Grant, the 'rogue British agent' of the Texas Revolution. Reid removes the enigmatic historical shroud from Grant and eloquently illustrates the Scotsman as a key player in Great Britain and the United States' long-term struggle for North America." - William R. Chemerka, founder of The Alamo Society, editor of The Alamo Journal"
