The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico
from Beacon Press
Price: $17.10

Customer Review:

A very good introductory book to the Conquest of Latin America. Though I do have to say, use only as an introduction. It is not a very good book to cite for any research. A very good example of showing both sides of the story; Spanish vs. Native.

I purchased this book intending to get an unbiased view of the Spanish exploration of the New World. That is a difficult task given the nature of 20th & 21st Century academia.
This text, an eye witness account of what happened on real explorations, more than satisfies my objective. What's... more info
