Blood on the Wind recounts the dramatic history of why the ancient Maya failed to create an empire in the lowlands. Highlighting the roles of various rival families and the fomenting of civil war in 250-850 CE, it sheds light on economics, politics, religion, culture, and warfare and shows how a disastrous chain of events prevented a lowlands empire from being achieved.
