Preview The Conquest of the Incas

Description:
The definitive history of the fall of the Incan empire   Praised as the finest account of the end of Incan empire since W. H. Prescott's History of the Conquest of Peru, this monumental explanation of the sixteenth-century Spanish invasion removes the Incas from the realm of legend and describes their battles against forces led by conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Drawing upon rediscovered sources and a first-hand knowledge of the Incan terrain, Hemming vividly describes post-conquest Peru and the Incan resistance to fully integrating into Spanish society. With maps, line drawings, and twenty-four pages of photography, The Conquest of the Incas is an intimately researched and evocative history of one of the world's most fascinating civilizations that refutes many misconceptions about how the Incas were defeated.
