Bernal Díaz del Castillo was a foot soldier in the army of Mexico's conqueror Hernán Cortes, and participated in the campaigns that led to the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521. This 1928 translation of his journals derives from the 1904 edition by the Mexican historian Genaro García - the first edition based on the original manuscript. Written as a corrective to accounts that overemphasised Cortes' exploits, Díaz's epic includes the experiences of the common soldier: hardship, thirst, long marches & unexpected attacks by rebels. The most complete contemporary chronicle of the Mexican conquest, this important historical document is also a captivating adventure narrative that combines factual accuracy with many dramatic anecdotes.
