Product Description

Product Description
In one popular image, the Aztec army was a fierce juggernaut, establisihng an empire by overwhelming its neighbours and sacrificing thousands to bloodthirsty gods. In contrasting perspective, Indian warriors were quickly and easily defeated by Cortes greatly outnumbered Spaniards. This book presents a story that lies between the two extremes. Through the eyes of an individual soldier, it shows that Aztec warfare was much richer and far more complex than previously understood. It also studies the lives of warrirors in the homicidal Cuachique - ruthless Aztec warriors who spent their whole lives hunting down and slaughtering their enemies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aztec , 10 Jul 2008
By D. Evans - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Good books on aspects of Aztec life are hard to come by, especially in English. It is therefore a pleasure to get hold of a copy of 'Aztec Warrior' as this book is probably the best short guide to these Mesoamerican fighters available.

John Pohl is one of the leading experts on the Aztecs alive today. In this book he has gathered up years of research on the subject, giving us a vivid look at the weapons, costumes, battle techniques and life of the average Aztec warrior. He also provides us with a broad historical overview; tracing the development of the Aztec warrior from the founding of the state until its destruction at the hands of the Spanish Conquistadors.

Special attention should be brought to the 10 pages of wonderful illustrations by Adam Hook. These display the Aztec warrior's costume, weapons, ceremonial helmets and shields as well as paintings of the Aztecs in combat.

This is a highly recommended introduction to these formidable warriors. It is well written, well illustrated with photos, colour plates, maps and codex drawings, and it's also well organised. Highly Recommended!
