This work provides a true and detailed narrative of the exploration and conquest of Mexico and New Spain from the perspective of Bernal Díaz del Castillo, who was a soldier under Hernán Cortés. The book offers valuable insights into the experiences and observations of the conquistadors during their tumultuous journey, showcasing both their challenges and their victories. The opening of the second volume details the continuation of Cortés’ campaign against the Mexicans, beginning with the march towards Tezcuco. Díaz vividly recounts the military preparations and the strategic maneuvers employed by Cortés and his troops, including alliances formed with local allies such as the Tlascallans and Tezcucans. He describes encounters with the Mexicans, their resistance, and the treacherous terrain that the Spaniards navigated. Key elements include the capture of towns, the establishment of alliances, and skirmishes leading to significant battles, all contributing to the narrative of conquest and highlighting the tension between the indigenous populations and the Spanish forces.
