The Last Days of the Incas

Well-researched description of the Spanish invasion and decimation of the Incan empire, which had only just conquered and consolidated several other South American tribals groups at the time of Spanish arrival. The author tries to present an unbiased and balanced view but ultimately, many prejudices and default Western assumptions come through, along with at dismissing and minimizing the cruelty of Spanish conquest particularly with regards to Indigenous women (calling them "concubines" or "mistresses"). An easy mainstream read nonetheless.
