Learn the unbelievable true history of the great warrior tribes of Mexico. More than 13 centuries of incredible spellbinding history are detailed in this intriguing study of the rulers and warriors of Mexico. Dozens of these charismatic leaders of nations and armies are brought to life by the deep research and entertaining storytelling of Peter Tsouras. Tsouras introduces the reader to the colossal personalities of the period: Smoking Frog, the Mexican Machiavelli, the Poet Warlord, the Lion of Anahuac, and others... all of them warlords who shaped one of the most significant regions in world history, men who influenced the civilization of half a continent. The warlords of Mexico, for all their fascinating lives and momentous acts, have been largely ignored by writers and historians, but here that disappointing record is put right by a range of detailed biographies that entertain as they inform. Students of the area, historians working in American history, and long-term visitors and tourists to the region will gain a much clearer understanding of the background history of these territories and the men who formed and reformed them.

While there are numerous sources that detail Cortes' fierce conquest of Tenochtitlan, few books provide the perspective of the Mexica (Aztecs). This fabulous book goes even further to tell of their long historic empire, and it puts into perspective just how might--and terrifyingly brutal--the local tribes were. The whole saga is deeply tragic, but it is clear that this is the tale of a clash of two equally bloodthirsty cultures.

Enlightening history of the mighty Mexica!

I actually really enjoyed this book. Some reviews of it says it's confusing and hard to follow and with bad pronunciation, but I think it's actually pretty well written and engaging. Highly recommended

must read for anybody that lives in Anahuac

This book contains a lot of information. It contains a well documented account of warlords of mesoamerica. The story is presented in an interesting and enthusiastic manner.

The narrator tries to pronounce the ancient and weird words successfully.

Having said that, the narrator has too much of a monotone throughout the reading.

Furthermore, the book seems to jump around from story to story and becomes very repetitive.

If the author could have organized his thoughts better and the narrator read it in less monotone style this could have been a great project. The intention was there. The information is there. The execution wasn’t.

Dull and repetitive

Well written and informative. It is a piece of history not taught in more Eurocentric history of American schools.

Informative

What a great book! I’d recommend reading/listening to this story to anyone who wants to learn more of the conquest of Mexico and the fall of the Aztec and Mayan Empires.

I think this is amazing that someone took the time to write about the histories of Mezo-America. There is not much on the books about this subject matter.

The performance from the narrator is about as goof as it can get considering the dry way the information was written out. The author is very matter of fact in his telling, so it is a bit dry.

This is understandable as the author is really just stating what they have learned and know. It's hard to take creative liberties in historical non fiction.

Overall, however, because this is an interest of mine, I found it informative, interesting, and helpful.

Very Interesting, A Bit Dry

I enjoyed the book very much. This period of history was brought to life for me.

Great narration of a wonderfuly personal biography of the great Mexica lords. Highly recommend this book not only for the historical knowledge but also the inclusion of poetry and cultural insights. There are a few lines that are... less than ideal (i.e. "one thing lead to another" in regards to men commiting crimes against women, and certainly nobody today would point to executing one's gay son as a point of moral fortitude) but I attribute that to this being published in the 90s. Other than that and overall, a very good read.

This reads like the Iliad
