What role did indigenous peoples play in the Spanish conquest of
Mexico? Ross Hassig explores this question in Mexico and the
Spanish Conquest by incorporating primary accounts from the Indians
of Mexico and revisiting the events of the conquest against the
backdrop of the Aztec empire, the culture and politics of
Mesoamerica, and the military dynamics of both sides. He analyzes
the weapons, tactics, and strategies employed by both the Indians
and the Spaniards, and concludes that the conquest was less a
Spanish victory than it was a victory of Indians over other
Indians, which the Spaniards were able to exploit to their own
advantage.In this second edition of his classic work, Hassig
incorporates new research in the same concise manner that made the
original edition so popular and provides further explanations of
the actions and motivations of Cortes, Moteuczoma, and other key
figures. He also explores their impact on larger events and
examines in greater detail Spanish military tactics and strategies.
