About the book

Bernal Díaz del Castillo's The Conquest of New Spain is a first-hand account of the Spanish expedition led by Hernán Cortés and the fall of the Aztec Empire. Writing as a veteran participant, Díaz describes the march into Mexico, encounters with Indigenous peoples, Tenochtitlan, Moctezuma and the brutal warfare that followed. His narrative is an indispensable, though partisan, source for the history of the Spanish conquest of Mexico.
