What is Conquistador : Hernán Cortés, King Montezuma, and the last stand of the Aztecs about?

<p><P>In an astonishing work of scholarship that reads like an adventure thriller, historian Buddy Levy records the last days of the Aztec empire and the two men at the center of an epic clash of cultures.</p> <h3>The Wall Street Journal</h3> <p>A century before the Mayflower, a single man settled the destiny of the Americas far more momentously than the Puritans ever could. Hern&aacute;n Cort&eacute;s's blitzkrieg-like conquest of the Aztec Empire in 1519-21 laid the foundation of a Spanish empire that would eventually stretch from California to the pampas of Argentina. Along the way, he sealed the doom of the native cultures of the Americas, both North and South, and set the pattern of global history right down to the present -- as a series of fateful encounters between, on the one hand, Western ideas, technologies and institutions and, on the other, non-Western cultures, peoples and terrains.<br><br>In CONQUISTADOR, Buddy Levy offers a fascinating account of the first and most decisive of those encounters: the one between the impetuous Spanish adventurer Cort&eacute;s and Montezuma, the ill-starred emperor of the Aztecs -- clearly the wrong emperor at the wrong place at the wron
