关于此电子书

One morning in Texas in 1836 seemed to begin as most other mornings in Texas. But then the bugles and band of General Santa Anna played a song from Spain called “El degüello.“ The literal translation of this song might be "slit throat" or "beheading" but its meaning this day was that Santa Anna would allow no mercy to the men at the Alamo in Texas. While Santa Anna did have regard for women and children and did not harm either on purpose, the song played in Texas that morning was that every man in the Alamo would be killed, whether fighting or even after surrender. There would be no forgiveness.


Two unlikely heroes decided that this massacre should have never happened. In order to stop it, however, they also had to ensure that nothing obvious in history changed along the way.


But this is all fiction. It never happened. Or did it? How would we know? How would anyone know?

The author of this book, Ronald J. Plachno, was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1945, the middle of three sons. He was born of parents who were never rich or even that well off, but who believed their children should receive a college education as well as other education in music and more. Later, Ron was also quite fortunate to have a wonderful family with lovely wife Valerie and two great sons Kenneth and Gregory, who now each have families of their own.


Ron graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT in Chicago, and took 6 graduate courses at the University of Illinois. Beginning as a low level engineer, Ron over time had success in engineering and then leadership and became a VP at the Fortune 500 Motorola Corporation and later a Sr. VP at Novatel Wireless, a technology startup company in California. Ron was also listed at one time in the "Who's Who of America." He has since founded a few small companies, and has 26 Copyrights with the US Library of Congress and one more in progress.
