Description: | Select Guide Rating A highly illustrated history of one of the greatest military campaigns of all time--the Spanish conquest of Mexico from 1519 to 1521, an epic clash of civilizations that saw the destruction of the Aztec Empire. In 1519, the Conquistador Hernán Cortés landed on the mainland of the Americas. His quest to serve God, win gold, and achieve glory drove him into the heartland of what is now Mexico, where no European had ever set foot before. He marched towards to the majestic city of Tenochtitlan, floating like a jewel in the midst of Lake Texcoco. |
