Broken Shields

by Bernardino de Sahagun and Claudia Burr

Published 1 August 1997
A companion volume to "What the Aztecs Told Me, Broken Shields" tells the tragic tale of the conquest of Montezuma and the destruction of the Aztec empire by Hernan Cortes. It is written in the first person in the form of a lament, a compelling way to relate this history to children.
