Summary: Detailed and balanced account of Spanish occupation of Peru
Comment: This work is actually part 3 in the series of volumes written by the author, who wrote about the events of the Spanish conquest of Peru soon after they occurred. This part 3 was never published and only discovered in the 70's. It comes across as a well-balanced presentation of events as the partners of Francisco Pizzaro and Diego de Almegro search for and discover the Inca civilization in the Andean region of South America. Detailed and easy to read and understand, the author himself was not involved in the events but was able to speak with men still living from those times and understand it by recollecting of his own experiences. The book contains notes at the end of each chapter, some illustrations, maps, and a glossary. I found this work compelling, but its rating arises because it did not reach the level of some other conquest stories, such as D and C of Mexico, De Vaca, or La Florida (available in De Soto Chronicles). But is the only thorough account of the Peruvian conquest I am aware of apart from that of Pedro Pizarro. Another recently uncovered work, Narrative of the Incas, tells of events from the Inca's perspective.
