Simon & Schuster The Last Days of the Incas

Great read for a college history class. Packed full of information about Pizarro's conquest in Peru.Littered with fun facts, but with some Spanish account bias. That's inevitable considering most sources were apparently; an apparent after-effect of colonialism. Highly recommend reading if you enjoy history or want to learn more about how South America got taken over by the brutal Spanish.

Kim MacQuarrie's book brings this historically fascinating event to life, not just from accounts of the Spaniards but also from local accounts. It has filled a long-vacant gap in my appreciation for the history of South America. Amazon has ensued speedy and immaculate delivery.

Um excelente livro para quem tem interesse de conhecer a história do império Inca e como ocorreu seu declínio.Autor foi fantástico neste livro

I don't normally like history books. But this is a huge exception. I loved this book! I couldn't put it down!I've visited Ecuador and Peru and I feel terrible now that I didn't appreciate the sites that I saw. I wish I'd read this book before I went. Now, I want to go back and walk in the steps of the Inca rulers and Spanish invaders. I want to see every battleground and hold with the book open in my hands as I travel from site to site.Apart from bringing these historical characters to life, MacQuarrie also brings the story to modern day. The epilogue was useful to relating the old place names to the villages and sites we'd find on a modern map.

I am really enjoying this book. It is easy to read, yet also very interesting and informative. I would recommend!
