This book is the second volume of a two-volume set that chronicles the Spanish conquest of Peru. In this volume, Prescott continues his detailed account of the events that led to the downfall of the Inca Empire. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the political, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the Spanish victory over the Inca. Prescott also explores the lives of key figures in the conquest, such as Francisco Pizarro and Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor. The book begins with a preliminary view of the Inca civilization, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the culture and traditions of the Inca people. Prescott then delves into the conquest itself, describing the battles and strategies used by the Spanish to defeat the Inca armies. He also examines the impact of the conquest on the indigenous population, including the forced conversion to Christianity and the introduction of European diseases. Throughout the book, Prescott uses a narrative style that brings the events and characters to life. He draws on primary sources, including letters and journals written by the conquistadors themselves, to provide a vivid and detailed account of the conquest. Overall, History of the Conquest of Peru V2: With a Preliminary View of the Civilization is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of South America, the Spanish Empire, or the impact of European colonialism on indigenous cultures.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
