Hasta 1959, cuando apareció por vez primera este libro, ya tantas veces reeditado, el único testimonio organizado sobre la Conquista era la crónica victoriosa de los propios españoles. Miguel León-Portilla tuvo el incomparable acierto de organizar textos traducidos del náhuatl por Ángel María Garibay Kintana para darnos la Visión de los vencidos: la imagen que los indios de Tenochtitlán, Tlatelolco, Texcoco, Chalco y Tlaxcala se formaron acerca de la lucha contra los conquistadores y la ruina final del mundo azteca.
Relato de los presagios que anunciaron el desastre, descripción del avance de Cortés, crónica de la batalla heroica de los antiguos mexicanos en defensa de su cultura y de su misma vida, elegía de una civilización que se perdió para siempre, gran poema épico de los orígenes de la nacionalidad mexicana, Visión de los vencidos es ya un libro clásico y una obra de lectura indispensable.
