Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of Mexico, then pay attention....

Before the modern country was born in 1821, the territory that today comprises 32 states and few small islands was inhabited by ancient dynasties and kingdoms of warriors, astronomers, priests, temples for human sacrifice, and, surprisingly, some of the largest cities in the world. It is estimated that the sacred city of Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan Peninsula, was larger than Paris at its height of splendor.

This fascinating journey through Mexico’s history, from its amazing pre-Hispanic past to the end of the 20th century, will reveal more surprises than the listener can imagine.

Good book generally

I wish it went into more details in some parts, it feels like a lot is left out, but generally pretty good

Great audio book

For a man who loves to read but has so little time, listening to this audio book was both fascinating and educational.

Certainly, this audio book is a must for anyone who is proud to be Mexican-American.

Worth listening to

Short but entertaining, this brief history of Mexico rarely drags, very informative. I would recommend it.

Very Comprehensive,

The history of Mexico is very difficult and the author does a good job of cutting it down. This audible gives more than just dry facts and adds his understanding of the facts that bring the history alive and describes how Mexico got to where it is today.

Mexico's reconstruction

This looked like a majestic audible but was never a task. The audiobook feels seamless, from one period to another. The pre-Columbian period particularly is fascinating since most of us know only Aztec and Maya!

Great Intro into Mexican History

This Audiobook is a great start to Mexican History. The writer brings a writing style that is easy to understand but emotional in the more tense moments of history. I highly prescribe this book.

This is a very in depth audiobook

I have learned dozens of books on the history of México, but none provided me the feel of real knowledge of why results transpired as they did in México's bloody and complicated past as thoroughly as Fire and Stock.

History of Mexico

I love this book. I am a Mexican American In Texas and I always wanted to know the beginnings of Mexico and of the how the first civilization came about and lived. Many of the foods that were born in Mexico i ate daily, i didn’t know that. This book was a good way for me to understand my. Mexican decent in my blood. I’ve been to Mexico a few times in my life and Mexico is so breathe taking now i know why. I love this book more then I thought I was going to. Thank you.

love history

I very much enjoyed the history and remember much of it due to the stories from my parents grandparents and family. I am a first generation American of mexican descent.
I did not at all care for the narrator who's pronunciation of the spanish names and names of towns and events was extremely poor.
You need to find people who can pronounce the language correctly. Language and it correct pronunciation is also part of the history of all countries.

History of Mexico (Current to 2019)

Very concise but comprehensive, compelling overview of the rich history of the development of the Mexican national. The voice of the reader is superb and the story telling by the author is respectful.
