Brian Kilmeade: How We Win By Losing

Brian Kilmeade of Fox News joins Jeff to discuss his latest book, "Sam Houston & The Alamo Avengers." He discusses how Houston learned to win by losing and how great leaders can learn from their flaws rather than be destroyed by them.

Through personal letters, and vivid accounts of the harsh conditions & brutality of Santa Anna, SAM HOUSTON & THE ALAMO AVENGERS takes readers into the fight for Texas leading up to, and following the massacre of ~250 Texans by the Mexican Army in 1836. Among those killed in San Antonio were American legends, Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett.

General Sam Houston managed to rally a small army, defeat Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, and secure Texas’ independence in only one-month’s time. Gen. Houston’s successes were by no means limited to the battlefield. Gen. Houston went on to become one of the first two individuals to represent Texas in the Senate, and is the only American to be elected Governor of two separate states (Tennessee & Texas).
