Description
"The editors and translators have brilliantly put this antique tale into readable English while keeping a sense of its origins. They caution us, however, that this is the Aztec side, not an impartial account; to an impartial reader, both sides look like great fighters and appallingly brutal men. The contemporary illustrations are realistic and engaging."--The New Yorker
