Publisher's Summary
In 1532, the magnificent Inca empire was the last great civilization still isolated from the rest of humankind. The Conquest of the Incas is the definitive history of this civilization's overthrow, from the invasion by Pizarro's small gang of conquistadors and the Incas' valiant attempts to expel the invaders to the destruction of the Inca realm, the oppression of its people, and the modern discoveries of Machu Picchu and the lost city of Vilcabamba.
This authoritative, wide-ranging account, grounded in meticulous research and firsthand knowledge and told from the viewpoints of both protagonists, "keeps all the complex issues to the fore...the deeper wonder of the conquest and the deeper horror of its results" (Washington Post).

Pretty good!
Captivating account of the century or so surrounding the invasion and subjugation of the Incas by the Spanish. lots of family histories, so be prepared to keep track of a lot of very similar Spanish and Inca names.
originally published In the seventies, some of the language surrounding the native peoples is a bit dated and might raise some eyebrows without this context.
