'The entire book is the product of judicious reflection by an able mind fully abreast of a widely dispersed literature...Perhaps most of all Katz is interested in the movement toward larger, more complex social and political structures in possible parallel development to the Old World. The most original part of his book lies in his examination of the Triple Alliance and the Inca Empire in such terms' AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW
