This review is from: The Armature of Conquest: Spanish Accounts of the Discovery of America, 1492-1589 (Paperback)
I ordered the book, "The Armature of Conquest ... Spanish Accounts of the Discovery of America" hoping to find out what the Spanish explorers thought and felt as they discovered America. Instead,on practically every comment made by the explorers, the author states her opinion of what they really meant by what they said. You end up totally confused as to what is the truth, and you end up with no information at all! This book was mistitled. It should have been titled, "The Armature of Conquest ... A Revisionist's View of Spanish Accounts of the Discovery of America." I totally wasted my money by buying this book.
