{"product_id":"the-discovery-and-conquest-of-mexico","title":"The Discovery And Conquest Of Mexico","description":"Bernal Dà del Castillo(1495-1584) served under Cortéthrough the entire Mexican campaign, and his narrative, one of only four extant firsthand accounts, is both an invaluable hirstorical document and a spectacular epic. He was with Cortéwhen the latter sank the ships, thus committing the small band of conquistadors irrevocably to the Conquest; he was privy to the counsels of the leaders and was at hand when Montezuma was made a prisoner in his own palace. Bernal Dà fought in over a hundred battles and skirmishes against an enemy who made living sacrifices of their prisoners. These things he saw and recorded in a bold blunt voice whose immediacy, in Maudslay's classic translation, reaches across the centuries to invite readers to witness for themselves the horrors and wonders of the initial, apocalyptic clash between two great civilizations.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 030681319X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.030681319X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Diaz Del Castillo, Bernal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in good condition.
