About the book

Townsend's The Aztecs explores the civilisation that dominated much of central Mexico before the Spanish conquest. The book examines religion, warfare, art, agriculture, political organisation and the extraordinary capital of Tenochtitlan. Archaeological evidence and surviving artworks help reconstruct a sophisticated society whose history has often been overshadowed by accounts of conquest and human sacrifice.
