AUTHOR
SUMMARY
In a series of episodes as fantastic as any fiction, a powerful civilization crumbled at the hands of a small band of warriors. Written by one of America's great historians, this gripping chronicle draws upon the firsthand accounts of eminent sixteenth-century captains and statesmen to relate the overthrow of the Inca empire by the Spanish adventurers under Pizarro's command. Author William H. Prescott's immensely readable narrative crackles with drama as he characterizes both conqueror and conquered. Rich in vivid anecdotes, it recaptures the glories of Inca society before European contact, and paints fascinating portraits of the conquistadors and their courage, cruelty, and pride.Prescott, William H. is the author of 'History of the Conquest of Peru ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780486440071 and ISBN 0486440079.
