5.0 out of 5 stars Good read

Really good read, there is a lot of information and I love the narrative of keeping in mind the old saying of "history is written by the winners". Reminds you there is a lot of things we might never really know about this civilizations but author does a good job of giving you the info we have.
Give a try, it could lead to an interest on at least one of the civilizations that you can look for more reading material.

This is a well written easy to understand book on the Mayan, Aztecs, and Incas. It kind of feels like you are reading cliff notes for an exam but adds a significant amount of detail to the topics. Yet its not overwhelming in detail thus allowing you to discover other books on the topics. If you are just starting to learn about these cultures these books are a good starting point

Lots of references at the end of each section but the book reads like a Discovery Channel show. Lots of loosely related material but not deep enough to be interesting

If you are interested in the old empires of America before Columbus arrived (and their downfalls once he did,) then this is not a bad place to start.

Good information, well organized. The author should seek the help of a good editor, because his language is often awkward and grammatically shaky.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's like a Primary School book about the Mexican Indians.

I leaves out all the bloodthirsty sacrificing and cannibalism etc. which is a vital part of the history of the Mexican Indians.It's like saying that Charles Manson was a nice person who lived with his friends and wrote a few songs!

I felt whilst good for a beginner or someone wanting to find out about this particular branch of New World history, I felt it lacked proper depth and analysis - far too much was glossed over or sidelined.
