Using excerpts mainly drawn from Bernal Diaz’s 1632 accounts of the Spanish success and from testimonies–many lately uncovered–of indigenous Nahua survivors collected simply by Bernardino de Sahagun, Victors and Vanquished obviously demonstrates how personal passions, course and ethnic biases, and political factors can impact interpretation of occasions.
A considerable introduction is accompanied by 9 chronological sections that illuminate the major occasions and personalities in this effective historical event and reveal the changing attitudes toward European expansionism.
