About this title

Reviews

Prescott's account of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniard Cortes, first published in 1843, is classic. Despite the passage of time, it remains lively and fresh. Only the account by Bernal Diaz del Castillo, who accompanied Cortes, ranks close. Many editions of Prescott have appeared; one of the most recent abridgements of Prescott's long account is C. Harvey Gardner's text (Univ. of Chicago, 1966; 1986. pap.), but even this totals 406 pages. Berler has done us a service by making a sharply abridged Prescott available in readable form. Prescott's work sheds light on what happens when peoples meet, and he was the first major historian to address that question. Berler makes accessible a past master.
