He seeks to make meaningful the strict chronicle of a conquest through those who lived it. Human details and the broader political background bring to life one of historys great tragedies.A new introduction by the author is included in this paperback edition. The comprehensive work is organized into three parts: "The Conquest of Mexico," "The Conquest of Guatemala and Yucatan," and "The Conquest of Peru." In each section, the author provides a summary prior to, in many cases, a day-by-day account of the events as they unfolded. Enriched by significant contemporary documents Mirrors of a Disaster relates the many facets of the conquest, presenting the Indians perception of their defeat by the Spaniards, the conquerors narratives of the same events, and the authors own retelling of a tragedy in which, he says, "the vanquished could not, ultimately, but be vanquished."
