Publisher Description
The moment Hernán Cortés and his men landed on the shore of Mexico in 1519 was a catastrophic one for Aztec leader Moctezuma, and their chance meeting led to the destruction of an entire civilization. Here, in this essay by award-winning author Charles L. Mee Jr., is the haunting, humbling story of the end of the Aztecs and the inevitability of the unpredictable in human affairs.
Customer Reviews
Too short
This is nothing more than a brief overview of the fall of the Aztecs. The author attempts to squash the tumultuous period of history into 30 or so pages. It's well written, though, and useful if you need a summary.
Short and tart
This is a quick read that gives a good overview of a difficult topic - the demise of the Aztec culture. Heading south for spring break next month and feel that this book has already improved the trip.
