History of the Conquest of Peru V2: With a Preliminary View of the Civilization is a historical account written by William Hickling Prescott and originally published in 1847. The book is the second volume of a two-volume series and focuses on the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru during the 16th century. The book begins with a preliminary view of the civilization of the Incas, including their religion, government, social structure, and economy. Prescott then delves into the conquest itself, covering the arrival of the Spanish in Peru, their interactions with the Inca rulers, and the eventual downfall of the Inca Empire. Throughout the book, Prescott provides detailed descriptions of the battles, political intrigue, and cultural clashes that characterized the conquest. He also explores the motivations and actions of key figures on both sides, including Spanish conquerors such as Francisco Pizarro and Inca leaders like Atahualpa. History of the Conquest of Peru V2 is widely regarded as a classic work of historical scholarship and is still studied and referenced by historians today. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history and sheds light on the complex interactions between different cultures and civilizations.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.
