The Aztecs by Carl Van Doren
A concise, narrative history tracing the rise and institutions of the Aztec (Mexica) civilization in central Mexico, exploring their political organization, economy, art, and daily life while emphasizing the central role of religion and ritual—especially human sacrifice—in legitimizing power; the account follows their military expansion and urban achievements, and ends with the disruptive arrival of Spanish conquerors and the consequent collapse of their empire.
