History of the Conquest of Mexico& History of the Conquest of Peru

Written by one of the great epic historians of the Americas, and here available in one volume, these two works represent both a triumph over personal adversity (the author's blindness) and an unsparing saga of religious imperialism, of Cortes's and Pizarro's brutal victories over the Aztec and Incan nations, and of the establishment of the Spanish empire over the ruins of their once-mighty civilizations.
