Fire and Blood: a history of Mexico by T.R. Fehrenvach
The best book I read this year was Fire and Blood: a history of Mexico by T.R.Fehrenbach.As the title suggests the book is quite graphic and reads like a novel except the characters are historical. There are no clear cut heroes in the book with the good, the bad, and the ugly of all the major players in Mexican history exposed.Father Hidalgo is the most sympathetic character as is Maxmillian. The book is filled with maps both old and new to aid in the understanding of the history of this fabulous civilization.
