Available for the first time in English, this history of Peru is based largely on interviews with Cieza's conquistador compatriates, as well as with Indian informants knowledgeable of the Incan past. \u003cbr\u003e\tAlexandra Parma Cook and Noble David Cook present this recently discovered third book of a four-part chronicle that provides the most thorough and definitive record of the birth of modern Andean America. It describes with unparalleled detail the exploration of the Pacific coast of South America led by Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, the imprisonment and death of the Inca Atahualpa, the Indian resistance, and the ultimate Spanish domination.\u003cbr\u003e\tStudents and scholars of Latin American history and conquest narratives will welcome the publication of this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains a wealth of detail about the conquest of Peru, revealing both the insights of a keen mind and invaluable first-hand accounts of the events covered.--Roland Hamilton, San Jose State University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePedro de Cieza de León (c. 1518-1555) was a soldier in Spain's royal forces who recorded that country's conquest of Peru. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexandra Parma Cook, an independent scholar, and Noble David Cook, Professor of History at Florida International University, are co-authors of Good Faith and Truthful Ignorance: A Case of Transatlantic Bigamy, also published by Duke University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePedro de Cieza de León (c. 1518-1555) was a soldier in Spain's royal forces who recorded that country's conquest of Peru. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexandra Parma Cook, an independent scholar, and Noble David Cook, Professor of History at Florida International University, are co-authors of \u003ci\u003eGood Faith and Truthful Ignorance: A Case of Transatlantic Bigamy\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 520\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.2 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801466659123,"sku":"9780822321460","price":62.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/vYO0UG3ECf9780822321460.webp?v=1785968909","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-discovery-and-conquest-of-peru-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
