This is is the second book -the first one was "The Broken Spears" - I have read on the Aztecs and Hernán Cortés. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in this amazing moment in history. It is written like a novel which helps keep your attention but is also very well referenced with extensive footnotes, appendices/xes, etc. giving you plenty of information to continue researching for yourself. Buddy Levy's descriptions really helped me visualize these amazing events. Plenty of obsidian swords, canons, quetzal feathers, human sacrifices and crosses to go around. ]]> <![CDATA[Kevin joined a group.]]> http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/5265.Chicago_Calling_Arts_Festival Kevin joined the Chicago Calling Arts Festival group. ]]> <![CDATA[Kevin added 'John Adams']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31130178 John Adams (Paperback) by David McCullough
