The Broken Spears 2007 Revised Edition: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico by Miguel Leon-Portilla

challenging informative inspiring sad medium-paced

4.5

Very interesting to hear Native accounts of these historical events. I particularly enjoyed the beginning of the book talking about pre-colonial culture, and the discussion at the end of how Indigenous peoples have worked to preserve their history and culture. I listened to the audiobook, which was well narrated, though I may have missed some maps and other photos that would help with comprehension (the book refers to many different locations and battles which can be challenging to follow at times). Overall an excellent book compiling information from many Nahua/Aztec accounts.
