Warlords of Ancient Mexico

How the Mayans and Aztecs Ruled for More Than a Thousand Years

De: Peter G. Tsouras

Narrado por: Paul Christy

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.

rare history

love hearing such a complete story about the Mayan and Aztecs. I was able to visualize everything.

must read for anybody that lives in Anahuac

I actually really enjoyed this book. Some reviews of it says it's confusing and hard to follow and with bad pronunciation, but I think it's actually pretty well written and engaging. Highly recommended

Dull and repetitive

This book contains a lot of information. It contains a well documented account of warlords of mesoamerica. The story is presented in an interesting and enthusiastic manner.

The narrator tries to pronounce the ancient and weird words successfully.

Having said that, the narrator has too much of a monotone throughout the reading.

Furthermore, the book seems to jump around from story to story and becomes very repetitive.

If the author could have organized his thoughts better and the narrator read it in less monotone style this could have been a great project. The intention was there. The information is there. The execution wasn’t.

Informative

Well written and informative. It is a piece of history not taught in more Eurocentric history of American schools.

Excellent Book

What a great book! I’d recommend reading/listening to this story to anyone who wants to learn more of the conquest of Mexico and the fall of the Aztec and Mayan Empires.
