Nice overview submitted by seadocks on July 28, 2013, 11:37am I really did not know much about the history of Mexico except in regards to it's interactions with the United States and the ancient cultures. I thought this book did a great job of getting me up to speed about how things came about in this nation to the south of us. I liked how each section was fairly easy to get through without being to long and repetitive, this was great for keeping my interest and allowing me to finish it a little at a time, thus giving time to think about the impact of each section on the perceptions of mexico today. All in all much better and quicker than I thought it would be.
