5.0
This volume covers the complete history of Mexico, from prehistory to the Mayans to the Magicians through the Aztecs and then New Spain, independence, the Porfiriato, and on through true democratization. The reader can see the whole sweeping arcs of Mexican history and make sense of areas where there is continuity and discontinuity. While at times a bit condescending in tone, the author has a clear love for his subject while attempting to turn an objective lens on the individuals that shaped the history and the societies that both effected and were affected. I highly recommend.
