Reviews

Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest is an engaging and highly readable account of the history of the conquest of the Amerias. --Jennifer Jobb, Against the Current A daring revisionist critique.... Restall's provocative analysis, wide-ranging scholarship and lucid prose make this a stimulating contribution to the debate on one of history's great watersheds. --Publishers Weekly This is an important book. It should be read by all high school world history teachers, and by professors of the same....a powerful indictment of the myths that we all inadvertently rely on to explain a complex and distant period. It will undoubtedly stir up a discussion about the reality of these myths and what others might find in both popular and scholarly writing in this field, and others. --American Historical Review
