Vivid, powerful and absorbing, this is a first-person account of one of the most startling military episodes in history: the overthrow of Montezuma's doomed Aztec Empire by the ruthless Hernan Cortes and his band of adventurers. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, himself a soldier under Cortes, presents a fascinatingly detailed description of the Spanish landing in Mexico in 1520 and their amazement at the city, the exploitation of the natives for gold and other treasures, the expulsion and flight of the Spaniards, their regrouping and eventual capture of the Aztec capital.

评分历史总是惊人的相似 野心家的阴谋论总是建立在宗教的把握上 利用民众的虔诚扫清开疆辟土的障碍 至少这点上cortez和machiavelli在the prince中提及的教义不谋而合 真是越来越有趣了啊
评分Amazing story of conquest. rich depiction of the unique geography of ancient Mexico city, gruesome Indian human sacrifice practice, tremendous guts and charisma of spanish leader Henan Cortes, and incredible luck. A page turner
