Peru's rich culture has long fascinated scholars, with stories of ancient civilizations and great conquerors. History of the Conquest of Peru details Pizarro's ferocious seizure of the Incas as it explores the "most brilliant passages of Spanish adventure in the New World." Published to critical praise in 1847, this book remains the starting point for all historians -- professional and amateur alike.
