"Aztec, Mixtec and Zapotec Armies" (Men-at-Arms)

6 reviews
John Pohl

Osprey Publishing, 1991

Mexica Warriors
A richly illustrated source on the armies of the Mexica Empire from the founding of Tenochtitlan up to the arrival of the Spaniards, who are not mentioned in the book. This makes this a rare book truly only about the Mexican armies, rather than focusing on the experience of the Spaniards that fought them. What little is known of the petty warring states of the Zapotecs and the Mixtecs is also ...

Great Photos

Writing Without Words: Alternative Literacies in Mesoamerica and the Andes

Duke University Press, 1994

The history of writing, or so the standard story goes, is an ascending process, evolving toward the alphabet and finally culminating in the "full writing" of recorded speech. Writing without Words challenges this orthodoxy, and with it widespread notions of literacy and dominant views of art and literature, history and geography. Asking how knowledge was encoded and preserved in Pre-Columbian and early colonial Mesoamerican cultures, the ...

Aztecs and Conquistadores: The Spanish Invasion and the Collapse of the Aztec Empire (General Military)

2 reviews
John Pohl

Osprey Publishing, 2005

Excellent visual insight
Well written with excellent pictorial information. And one who has done any kind of research into this period of history and was curious about how things actually looked would be very interested in seeing good detailed and written descriptions of maps, battle suits, weaponry and other items of the period. A good overview of the events during this period in Mexico's history, but the book is more ...

Aztec Warrior: AD 1325-1521 (Warrior)

John Pohl

Osprey Publishing, 2001

Aztec Army revealed
Fascinating... this is without a doubt one of the most thorough basic introduction ever written to the organization of the ancient Aztec army. Relying heavily on original scholarly works, documentary sources, codices, and museum collections, as well as expert reconstructions, the author has written an enthralling account of the life of a typical warrior as he works his way up through the ranks of ...
