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.

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.
Download or read book With Cortes the Conqueror Classic Reprint written by Virginia Watson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Cortes the Conqueror The conquest of Mexico in the sixteenth century is one of the greatest true fairytales of the world. A handful of men, lured by rumors they had heard of a land where gold was as plentiful as rocks in their Spain, set forth to discover and conquer it, with small conception of the greatness of their undertaking. They found a country abounding in marvels, riches and dangers. By means of audacity, courage and gunpowder they made themselves masters of its monarch and of its people, gave a new realm to the King of Spain, a wider sheepfold to Christendom, and started the vast flood of western gold that for generations continued to pour into Europe's hungry coffers. In all American history there is no story so colorful as the story of the Conquistadores and the contest between their valor and the desperate defence of the Aztecs. There is no need to turn to European annals in search of romance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
