Concise and detailed

Mesoamerican history can often be confusing. The ally of one day quickly became the enemy of the next. This book was somehow able to cut through that without sacrificing any of the detail. The end result is a very solid and informative account of these warriors and the wars they fought in.

Aztec Army revealed

Fascinating... this is without a doubt one of the most thorough basic introduction ever written to the organization of the ancient Aztec army. Relying heavily on original scholarly works, documentary sources, codices, and museum collections, as well as expert reconstructions, the author has written an enthralling account of the life of a typical warrior as he works his way up through the ranks of command. The illustrations are amazingly detailed and illustrate exactly how Aztec uniforms were designed and constructed. An essential work for students, artists, museum exhibitors, costume designers etc. Hollywood take notice, this is the real story here! Osprey picked a hot one with Pohl who has lived and worked in Mexico for over twenty-five years. He is a leading authority on this subject as well as Curator and Lecturer of Ancient Art of the Americas at the Princeton University Art Museum. As a professor, I've found this book appropriate for classes in everything from Archaeology, Art History to Chicano Studies at my university. More over, I have used it as a reference for an encyclopedic book I am presently writing about Aztec Civilization.
