I really enjoyed Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs by Buddy Levy.
I think he does a great job of delving into the people instead of just the events. It was a good read.
Last year I did the audio book of Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs
I cannot recommend the book enough. A truly amazing story.
The way it was taught to me in the 70's was basically Cortes hopped off the boat, took a look around and made a beeline for the Aztec capital. Not even close to the real story.
The tale of Cortes marching an army across the volcano is incredible in itself.
I think that feat is Hannibal worthy.
Conquistador, about how Cortes defeated the Aztecs. Excellent research and well written. Great story, as well.
