(Civilization of the American Indian Series)

In this, the third volume of Nigel Davies's trilogy on the Toltecs, the author analyzes the successor Aztecs' achievement of empire and the imposing structure that Cortés encountered on his arrival in their capital, Tenochtitlán, in 1519. The Aztec Empire lasted almost a century before being conquered by invaders from across the sea, and although Tenochtitlán now lies deep beneath the conquerors capital, Mexico City, the Aztecs' strategy and statecraft compare with those of the great empire builders of the Old World.
