The Columbus history was excellent, full of details, with most of the information reported by first or second person accounts. I feel that the book put the proper emphasis on why Columbus was so driven and placed him within the proper historical context.
The Cortez book was good, but difficult at times as the author described in quite a bit of detail the human sacrifice practices the Aztec used. It was quite a trudge to motivate myself to continue to read. I'm unsure why the author felt it necessary to use such vivid details. ( )
