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.

Good book generally

I wish it went into more details in some parts, it feels like a lot is left out, but generally pretty good

Great audio book

For a man who loves to read but has so little time, listening to this audio book was both fascinating and educational.

Certainly, this audio book is a must for anyone who is proud to be Mexican-American.

Worth listening to

Short but entertaining, this brief history of Mexico rarely drags, very informative. I would recommend it.

A good start

Helpful to get broad strokes of very deep and complex moments in Mexican history. I wish the narrative was a native Spanish speaker. The horrific mispronunciations were boarder line disrespect to the history being told. Overall a good read.
