Mexican history comes to life in this "fascinating" work by the
author of Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans (The
Christian Science Monitor). Fire & Blood brilliantly depicts
the succession of tribes and societies that have variously called
Mexico their home, their battleground, and their legacy. This is
the tale of the indigenous people who forged from this rugged
terrain a wide-ranging civilization; of the Olmec, Maya, Toltec,
and Aztec dynasties, which exercised their sophisticated powers
through bureaucracy and religion; of the Spanish conquistadors,
whose arrival heralded death, disease, and a new vision of
continental domination. Author T. R. Fehrenbach connects these
threads with the story of modern-day, independent Mexico, a proud
nation struggling to balance its traditions against opportunities
that often seem tantalizingly out of reach. From the Mesoamerican
empires to the Spanish Conquest and the Mexican Revolution, peopled
by the legendary personalities of Mexican history-Montezuma,
Cortes, Santa Anna, Juarez, Maximilian, Diaz, Pancho Villa, and
Zapata-Fire & Blood is a "deftly organized and well-researched"
work of popular history (Library Journal).
