5.The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of MexicoThe 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.

It starts long before the campaign and ends much more later on.

It is neither... more info
