Book Synopsis
The conquest of Guatemala was brutal, prolonged and complex, fraught with intrigue and deception, and not at all clear-cut. Strike Fear in the Land reexamines the conquest to give us a greater appreciation of indigenous involvement in it, and sustained opposition to it.

Trade Review
“This is the best book-length study, to date, of any of the Spanish invasions of the Maya area. Strike Fear in the Land shows how a sensitive reading of both European and Mesoamerican sources can produce a succinct and significant contribution to the New Conquest History.”—Matthew Restall, author of When Montezuma Met CortÉs: The True Story of the Meeting That Changed History
