Why read it?
1 author picked The Conquest of the Incas as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The classic account of this fascinating, historic, and tragic event, unfortunately little known by western readers, is here masterfully told by the former Director of the Royal Geographical Society in London.

It will do no less for any reader with a curious mind and a love of history.
From Vincent's list on discovery of the true Lost City of the Incas.
