This rugged new translation--the first entirely new English
translation in half a century and the only one based on the most
recent critical edition of the Guatemalan MS--allows Diaz to
recount, in his own battle-weary and often cynical voice, the
achievements, stratagems, and frequent cruelty of Hernando Cortes
and his men as they set out to overthrow Moctezuma's Aztec kingdom
and establish a Spanish empire in the New World. The concise
contextual introduction to this volume traces the origins, history,
and methods of the Spanish enterprise in the Americas; it also
discusses the nature of the conflict between the Spanish and the
Aztecs in Mexico, and compares Diaz's version of events to those of
other contemporary chroniclers. Editorial glosses summarize omitted
portions, and substantial footnotes explain those terms, names, and
cultural references in Diaz's text that may be unfamiliar to modern
readers. A chronology of the Conquest is included, as are a guide
to major figures, a select bibliography, and three maps.
