Description

This new history of the Spanish conquistadors challenges our understanding of these legendary figures and their impact on world history. By cutting through myth and fiction, Mexican historian Fernando Cervantes reveals the complexities of an era that irrevocably altered the course of human events.

Through a wide range of sources, including diaries, letters, chronicles, and treatises, Cervantes reframes the story of the Spanish conquest of the New World. The result is a thought-provoking account that brings to life the epic ambitions and moral contradictions of the explorers who shaped an empire.

Conquistadores offers a fresh perspective on a period that continues to fascinate and provoke us today. With its illuminating insights, this book makes for compelling reading.
