Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-27 00:00:00 Antoine Zahnd Probably the best legal textbook I ever read. A topic that made little sense suddenly became logical and comprehensible when viewed in context. Having been brought up at law school on the "Law in Context" series by Profs Atiyah, Twining, MacAuslan et al, this book should have been my starting point.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-27 00:00:00 Amber Smith This book is astounding! Like others, I suspect, I thought I had some decent grasp on the story of the conquest of the Aztecs by Cortés and his conquistadores. I was aware of the Aztec belief that a white god was returning in the very year that Cortés showed up, a belief that attenuated their response to his advent. And the fact that they were overawed by the horses and hardware. All that stuff. The truth, I found, was that I hadn't a clue until I read this splendid history. It is an utterly fascinating, nearly unbelievable story told in an admirable style. Published in 1843, William H. Prescott's style takes a little getting used to. One is soon in the swing of it, however, and soon after that one begins to relish it.
