Conquest: Montezuma, Cortes and the Fall of Old Mexico

Conquest: Montezuma, Cortes and the Fall of Old Mexico

by Hugh Thomas

  • HISTORY
  • 1995
  • PAPER
  • 812 PAGES

A prize-winning history of the conquest; entertaining, massively researched and definitive. A monumental work, the last 200 pages are devoted to lengthy appendices on everything from Aztec myths to the many wives of Cortes. It's rare to find a work of such scholarship and importance that is also so much fun to read.  (MEX06, $25.00)
