Still looking for the book to blow the lid off of the untold story of human sacrifice in Mesoamerica. I thought this book would be the one, but although it details some of these rituals in depth, it does so in oft-incoherent academic language.

Still plenty of live-heart removal and sundry brutality.

I can't believe no one else has this book! It's very easy to read, and covers a broad scape of Aztec life before the Spaniards arrived.

I did have to make one correction, but it was about the book Kon-Tiki rather then about the actual subject, and so is entirely forgivable.
