Interesting academic view of the mythology of Hernando Cortes
As a direct descendant of both Cortes and Montezuma I was intrigued by the title of this book. Matthew Restall carefully unravels the mythology of the first meeting with Cortes and Montezuma leading eventually to the death of Montezuma and eventual Spanish Aztec war and destruction of the Aztec empire. Sadly it recalls the barbaric invasion of the Spanish to Meso-America and the death of millions of indigenous people through battle, European deseases, rape, pillage and enslavery. Painful at times to read what our ancestors did for eldorado!
