Book excerpt: In this astonishing work of scholarship that reads like an edge-of-your-seat adventure thriller, acclaimed historian Buddy Levy records the last days of the Aztec empire and the two men at the center of an epic clash of cultures perhaps unequaled to this day. It was a moment unique in human history, the face-to-face meeting between two men from civilizations a world apart. In 1519, Hernán Cortés arrived on the shores of Mexico, determined not only to expand the Spanish empire but to convert the natives to Catholicism and carry off a fortune in gold. That he saw nothing paradoxical in carrying out his intentions by virtually annihilating a proud and accomplished native people is one of the most remarkable and tragic aspects of this unforgettable story. In Tenochtitlán Cortés met his Aztec counterpart, Montezuma: king, divinity, commander of the most powerful military machine in the Americas and ruler of a city whose splendor equaled anything in Europe. Yet in less than two years, Cortés defeated the entire Aztec nation in one of the most astounding battles ever waged. The story of a lost kingdom, a relentless conqueror, and a doomed warrior, Conquistador is history at its most riveting.

Book excerpt: The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire was perhaps one of the greatest turning points in North American history. This book relates the full story of how the Spanish adventurer Hernando Cortés and his small group overthrew the Aztec Empire and laid the foundation for the present-day nation of Mexico. It tells of how Cortés found his way to the New World, and, once there, drew together an alliance of a few hundred Spaniards and around 7,000 local Indian allies-all of those who had suffered at the hands of the Aztecs for countless years and who leaped at the chance to exact revenge upon their neighbors. After an initially peaceful parley into the Aztec capital-in search of gold and other riches-violence erupted and the Spaniards were nearly wiped out and forced to retreat. Outside the city, Cortés assembled a new army, consisting of 2,000 Spaniards and around 200,000 Indian allies, and started a general assault on the Aztec capital which saw Spanish boats built in situ and assembled on Lake Tezcuco-the waterway surrounding the magnificent island city. The fierce three-month-long siege ended in utter defeat for the Aztecs, and the city was nearly razed and rebuilt as the present-day metropolis of Mexico City. This exciting, dramatic, and horrendously bloody story reveals all the horror of the time, and Ober's book remains one of the most readable narratives of this earth-shaking military campaign ever written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An update of a popular work that takes on the myths of the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, featuring a new afterword. Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest reveals how the Spanish invasions in the Americas have been conceived and presented, misrepresented and misunderstood, in the five centuries since Columbus first crossed the Atlantic. This book is a unique and provocative synthesis of ideas and themes that were for generations debated or perpetuated without question in academic and popular circles. The 2003 edition became the foundation stone of a scholarly turn since called The New Conquest History. Each of the book's seven chapters describes one "myth," or one aspect of the Conquest that has been distorted or misrepresented, examines its roots, and explodes its fallacies and misconceptions. Using a wide array of primary and secondary sources, written in a scholarly but readable style, Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest explains why Columbus did not set out to prove the world was round, the conquistadors were not soldiers, the native Americans did not take them for gods, Cortés did not have a unique vision of conquest procedure, and handfuls of vastly outnumbered Spaniards did not bring down great empires with stunning rapidity. Conquest realities were more complex--and far more fascinating--than conventional histories have related, and they featured a more diverse cast of protagonists-Spanish, Native American, and African. This updated edition of a key event in the history of the Americas critically examines the book's arguments, how they have held up, and why they prompted the rise of a New Conquest History.
