About this ebook
Aztec Warfare explores how the Aztec Empire, a relatively small group, dominated Mesoamerica through its sophisticated military system. The book examines the Aztecs' military organization, weaponry, tactics, and the role of ritual warfare. Readers will learn the Aztec army possessed a complex command structure and logistical support enabling sustained military campaigns. Also, the controversial practice of sacrificial captivity intertwined military action with religious belief.
The book progresses logically, beginning with the historical context before delving into the structure of the Aztec army, weaponry, and battlefield tactics. Finally, it explores the religious dimensions of Aztec Warfare.
By drawing on archaeological evidence, indigenous codices, and Spanish accounts, Aztec Warfare avoids simplistic portrayals of the Aztecs as solely bloodthirsty warriors. Instead, it analyzes their military system as an integrated part of their society, offering valuable insights into pre-Columbian military history.
