The Spanish Conquest: What Really Happened?If you’re a person who likes to learn the messy details of events likely sanitized in your schoolbooks, Conquistador Voices may be for you.You're likely to find this book not only informative but easy to read, because Conquistador Voices is built around first-person narratives—the kind of thing that usually holds our attention. Think of it as a film documentary in written form, one that tells an important story in 500-year-old “sound bites” and narrative, and that does so in a way that informs without moralizing.In this two-volume set you'll find neither a defense of the conquistadors nor a politically correct polemic against them.What you will find is a one-stop, five-part layman's summary of the Conquest, one that delves dispassionately into persons and events we still talk about today. To see who’s covered in each volume, click on the volume’s cover image and then Look Inside. If you like what you see, order a copy for yourself or other history buff today.

This book is rated R. My review will certainly show some of the horrors you will read in this book. There is no foul language that I can recall. However, what you will read about the Indians and their way of life will shock you in a revolting manner. (I Will say Indians over Native Americans because it is quicker and expedient).These two books (Volume I and II) were perhaps my two books of the year last year. I simply couldn't put them down. You will learn that the Spanish arrived not in some communal Native American paradise, but to a land of poverty, anarchy, slavery, paganism, cannibalism, murder, polygamy, tribal rivalry, low life expectancy, starvation, disease, sexual exploitation of men and women, homosexual pagan priests, etc. These Indians are to be a mixture of our merciful pity and of absolute frightening terror. The southern and central americans differed from their Northerly cousins for several reasons: they loved to eat babies captured from the raids of other natives. Slavery was the foundation of the major, famous Indian civilizations closer to the equator. Human sacrifice described in disgusting detail to false gods resembling demonic images and demands. Did I mention they love to eat babies? Roasted over the fire, dismembered, and eaten like beef jerky?I weep no more for those destroyed civilizations. The women had no defender, the babies of an enslaved mother were doomed to the grill or sexual enslavement (if beautiful). The great and famous Montezuma King was a monster who's death was demanded by the Angel of Justice. I can go on and on at the horror of those pagans you will frighteningly meetAnother questions does bear in mind: Did you ever wonder how a few hundred Spanish were able bring the ruin of a city of with over 250,000 inhabitants? How about more? The Spanish,in learning of the evils of the major empires from their translators, liberated many enslaved tribes who were victims of the empires, started from the coast a march towards the interior empires, by teaching the people the Gospel of love and dignity and abolishing: human sacrifice, sexual enslavement, the falseness of idol worship, the dignity of man being made in the image of God, the abolishment of polygamy for the fairness of women, the abolishment of rape which was endemic, etc.The Spanish were serious about religion. Very serious. Very admirable. But they were also no saints. They were experienced warriors who just liberated Spain from the Muslims occupiers in 1492, the same year Columbus made his famous trip West. But the Spanish made mistakes and committed violence shocking to normal citizens of today. I being a former soldier, I agree with the circumstances given as just cause for most of the violence, but sometimes the Spanish did things I simply cannot approve. Such is the unpredictability of war and the fear of death (or, as dozens of the unfortunate Spanish soldiers captured would soon realize, being sacrificed to idols then eaten after their dismemberment). In addition, the Spanish counted some of their soldiers as being former criminals and rogues. Therefore, these rogues most certainly committed foul play against Indians enemies and allies alike, causing headaches for the Spanish cause in general. But they are the outliers, not the norm and were operating in direct contrast to the orders of the King and Queen of Spain who demanded just treatment of the Indians even during the event of conflict.Lastly, what of Christopher Columbus. The man is hero for the Christian and Western world. If you are not Christian or of a Judeo-Christian mold, you will not like him. In fact, he was a hero to those Indians who lived on the Caribbean islands in his day because many of those first Indians he encountered, who were most peaceful and had few, primitive weapons, were Victims to the raids of an Indian nation called the Caribs and their confederacy. The Caribs raided islands, murdered the men, captured and raped the Indian women, traded them for concubines, ate their babies (a common theme), plumped up the ugly women to later be eaten. How unfortunate one day for the Caribs when they ran into the horrified Christian Spanish under Columbus. But Mr. Columbus made some bumbling errors as well and questionable decisions as you will soon find out.Verdict: This set of books is outstanding. It removes the myth of the peaceful savage and shows the horrifying brutality the Spanish stumbled upon. Being veterans of the crusades against Islam, almost nothing should have shocked the Spanish soldiers. However, in these accounts, you will find that whatever the Muslims and Crusaders did against each other, nothing compared to what the Indian pagans were brutally carrying out on themselves.
