Since the question has come up in recent discussions: What was the true history of Mexico? …. I will endeavor in the coming weeks to provide some useful links for the benefit of our readers.
First up is Brian Hamnett’s “A Concise History of Mexico” which – as luck would have it – Google seems to have online. I am not sure exactly how the Google guys made this happen copyright-wise, but there it is.
I recommend all of our readers delve into Mr. Hamnett’s book because it is one of the most useful on my bookshelf and it’s appearance in digital form absolves me of the need to rekey it for you all here.
UPDATE: The way they seem to make this work is by printing a long excerpt and maybe charging for full access? Not sure what the deal is but it looks promising. (I’d recommend everyone just go out and buy this book though – it is well worth owning).
