520    Here is an intriguing exploration of the ways in which the
       history of the Spanish Conquest has been misread and 
       passed down to become popular knowledge of these events. 
       The book offers a fresh account of the activities of the 
       best-known conquistadors and explorers, including Columbus,
       Cortes, and Pizarro. Using a wide array of sources, 
       historian Matthew Restall highlights seven key myths, 
       uncovering the source of the inaccuracies and exploding 
       the fallacies and misconceptions behind each myth. This 
       vividly written and authoritative book shows, for instance,
       that native Americans did not take the conquistadors for 
       gods and that small numbers of vastly outnumbered 
       Spaniards did not bring down great empires with stunning 
       rapidity. We discover that Columbus was correctly seen in 
       his lifetime-and for decades after-as a briefly fortunate 
       but unexceptional participant in efforts involving many 
       southern Europeans. It was only much later that Columbus 
       was portrayed as a great man who fought against the 
       ignorance of his age to discover the new world.; Restall 
       also shows that the Spanish Conquest relied heavily on 
       black and native allies, who provided many thousands of 
       fighters, vastly outnumbering the conquistadors. In fact, 
       the native perception of the Conquest differed sharply 
       from the Spanish version-they saw it as a native civil war
       in which the Spaniards played an important but secondary 
       role. The Conquest, Restall shows, was more complex-and 
       more fascinating-than conventional histories have 
       portrayed it. Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest offers a
       richer and more nuanced account of a key event in the 
       history of the Americas.
