If you want to discover the captivating history of Mexico, then keep reading...

Two captivating manuscripts in one book:
  • History of Mexico: A Captivating Guide to Mexican History, Starting from the Rise of Tenochtitlan through Maximilian's Empire to the Mexican Revolution and the Zapatista Indigenous Uprising
  • The Mexican Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Mexican Civil War and How Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata Impacted Mexico
Before the modern country was born in 1821, the territory that today comprises 32 states and few small islands was inhabited by ancient dynasties and kingdoms of warriors, astronomers, priests, temples for human sacrifice, and, surprisingly, some of the largest cities in the world. It is estimated that the sacred city of Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan Peninsula, was larger than Paris at its height of splendor.

This fascinating journey through Mexico’s history, from its amazing pre-Hispanic past to the end of the 20th century, will reveal more surprises than the reader can imagine. In the words of the self-proclaimed Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, “Mexico has magic. I looked for that magic, and I found it there.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A Concise but well-explained History
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

Eloquently explained History of Mexico with most important participants included. It would have benefited more if illustrations or photographs were included like a few that were included on the Mexican Revolution book that served to clarify my imagination as a reader.
Overall great reading for history buffs but specially better for Mexican people like me who never was given the whole picture on Mexican school’s history books.

Pretty decent introduction to Mexican history. Unfortunately it is difficult to find good books on this subject written in English, so the effort here is much appreciated. I would love to see a more maps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Work! I highly recommend all work done by Captivating History and Matt Clayton!

Anything that was written by Captivating History and Matt Clayton I highly suggest you buy and read. History is greatly researched and the content, no boredom with hundreds of pages of fluff.

You are going to be seeing a lot of the same reviews from me but that is how highly I think of Captivating History and Matt Claytons' books are.

You will not regret it, I have so many of their books, I do not remember the count.
