“When Hernán Cortés arrives in Mexico in 1519, he finds the flourishing Aztec Empire. By the time he leaves several years later, the Aztec leaders are dead, the native populations are decimated and the civilization is in ruins. Brilliant and enigmatic, Cortés is brought vividly to life as a complex man convinced of his own destiny.”

“A little disturbing considering the Aztec sacrificial practices and the brutalities of warfare, but extremely well-written and researched. It's a historical page turner...proof that history doesn't need to be dry and dusty.”

“This book was kind of slow, but still good. I LOVE history, especially ancient, and I found this book very informing. Some descriptions were a little disturbing and gruesome, but it was fine. I found it very disgusting, however, that a single human being could be so heartless and cruel. But don't let that stop you from reading it!”
