Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. A very good HB of 238 pages with a very good & protected DJ. Spain alone in the 16th century could have produced a man such as Cortes: poor yet arrogant, chivalrous yet cruel, pious yet sinful, generous yet avaricious, a man of decisive action yet capable of patience and guile, his nature abounded with contradictions. The summer of 1519 witnessed one of the most remarkable of all invasions. With 500 fighting men, 100 sailors and 17 horses, Hernan Cortes attacked the Aztec empire in Mexico and secured for the Spanish crown what was to remain one of her most valuable possessions for over 300 years.
