Publisher's Summary

Learn the unbelievable true history of the great warrior tribes of Mexico. More than 13 centuries of incredible spellbinding history are detailed in this intriguing study of the rulers and warriors of Mexico. Dozens of these charismatic leaders of nations and armies are brought to life by the deep research and entertaining storytelling of Peter Tsouras. Tsouras introduces the reader to the colossal personalities of the period: Smoking Frog, the Mexican Machiavelli, the Poet Warlord, the Lion of Anahuac, and others... all of them warlords who shaped one of the most significant regions in world history, men who influenced the civilization of half a continent. The warlords of Mexico, for all their fascinating lives and momentous acts, have been largely ignored by writers and historians, but here that disappointing record is put right by a range of detailed biographies that entertain as they inform. Students of the area, historians working in American history, and long-term visitors and tourists to the region will gain a much clearer understanding of the background history of these territories and the men who formed and reformed them.

meh

Hops around chronologically each chapter, going back in time to tell the same story from a different character's perspective. Very confusing at first. it's almost entirely about the Aztec (mexica) as the Mayans die in the first chapter. Flowery narrative with lots of description of clothes, quoting poetry and prayers, etc. There are some good parts but it's not very compelling.

Difficult to follow with only a pdf of maps

This is a great review here: http://www.xenophon-mil.org/politicaleconomy/tsourasancientmexico.htm

It also gave me the spelling I needed to look up more online.

I'm embarrassed to admit, I fell asleep more than once. However, once I caught the rhythm, and understood the names, I was enraptured by the story and binged the whole book! ❤️

Cannot handle the strange rhythm of this book.

Voice doesn't match the story. Often it's jarring to try to follow the story, because of it.
