This rugged new translation--the first entirely new English translation in half a century and the only one based on the most recent critical edition of the Guatemalan MS--allows Diaz to recount, in his own battle-weary and often cynical voice, the achievements, stratagems, and frequent cruelty of Hernando Cortes and his men as they set out to overthrow Moctezuma's Aztec kingdom and establish a Spanish empire in the New World.

Mexico Editorial Review
**** "The True History of The Conquest of New Spain," part of the Hackett Classics series, serves as a compelling and detailed account of one of the most significant historical events of the 16th century. This work, authored by Bernal Díaz del Castillo, is praised for its ambitious aim of setting the historical record straight against contemporary accounts marked by inaccuracies. Díaz, though self-aware of his writing limitations, uses an engaging narrative style to recount his experiences during Hernán Cortés's expedition. Customers have highlighted the author's honest portrayal of Cortés, recognizing both his achievements and flaws. This duality adds depth to the narrative and provides readers with a more nuanced understanding of the historical figures involved. However, some readers found the abundance of Spanish and Aztec names to be a challenge, suggesting a focus on the primary characters and locations may enhance comprehension. Overall, readers find the translation accessible and engaging, characterized by rich detail and riveting content that makes it difficult to set down. Despite the book being abridged—a point of contention for some—its insights into cultural clash and exploration remain vital. This title not only captures the essence of the Spanish conquest of Mexico but also serves as a significant historical document that resonates with readers across generations. **
