[Ann Keller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book! It's difficult to image that Cortes began his journey when he was still in his twenties. He risked committing treason to forge into the unknown. This was the confrontation of two determined peoples and there could only be one victor. The story behind the history books is, indeed, fascinating.
