Warlords of Ancient Mexico

How the Mayans and Aztecs Ruled for More Than a Thousand Years

De: Peter G. Tsouras

Narrado por: Paul Christy

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.

Excellent Book

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.

Very Interesting, A Bit Dry

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.

Excellent Book

This book is wonderful!!! I loved the stories and so much wonderful history of the warriors of Mesoamerica.
I wish someone made a show of it (like America: The Story of Us)

Enlightening history of the mighty Mexica!

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.

rare history

love hearing such a complete story about the Mayan and Aztecs. I was able to visualize everything.
