Title: Historical Fiction
Product review: Scholarship on the Aztecs and the Conquest has far surpassed Prescott's entertaining but historically inaccurate tale. Five minutes with Matthew Restall's "Seven Myth's of the Spanish Conquest" debunks half of the work. Prescott's personal story is romantic, but this should not cloud the reader's judgment regarding the dated quality of the work. Stick with James Lockhart, Louise Burkhart, Sarah Cline, or even Inga Clenndinen's problematic work for a better picture of the conquest.
