Abstract

In dealing with the exploits of Columbus and Cortés, Chipman is by no means an apologist for their actions, seeking instead to include both the positives and negatives of their often-contradictory personal traits. Sword of Empire: The Spanish Conquest of the Americas from Columbus to Cortés, 1492 - 1529 by Donald E. Chipman (review) The author offers a lively narrative of Columbus's and Cortés's encounters with new lands and establishing early Spanish colonies in the Americas. [Extracted from the article]
