History of the Conquest of Peru (Dodo Press)

5 reviews
William H. Prescott

Dodo Press, 2008

Spellbinding account of an incredible piece of history
The conquest of the mighty Inca empire by a small contingent of Spanish adventurers, and their subsequent civil wars fought for control of the region, is a story so dramatic and improbable that it's hard to believe it actually happened. Prescott's artistic style, meticulous attention to detail, and brilliantly structured narrative bring out all the drama and excitement. Unlike many histories, ...

History of the Conquest of Mexico (Modern Library Classics)

William H. Prescott

Modern Library, 2001

One of the great histories written... ever
Wow. I studied History and Literature at Harvard... and they never introduced me to this book! Shame on Harvard. Prescott is a true fusion of history and literature. Built on deep reading and comprehensive research of original sources and shot through with critical insights blended with fairness, Prescott's work is so different from much modern history (which is the manipulation of facts to ...

The Conquest of Mexico
William H. Prescott

Naxos Audio Books, 2003

In 1519, Hernando Cortes arrived in Mexico to investigate stories of a wealthy empire. What he encountered was beyond his wildest dreams - an advanced civilisation with complex artistic, political and religious systems (involving extensive human sacrifice) and replete with gold. This was the Aztec empire, headed by the aloof emperor, Montezuma. With just a handful of men, Cortes achieved the impossible, crushing the Aztecs and their allies, and ...

The Art of War in Spain: The Conquest of Granada 1481-1492

William H. Prescott, Albert D. McJoynt

Greenhill Books, 1995

A classic work on one of history's key military campaigns.
One of the military campaigns that changed world history has been rescued from near oblivion by Albert D. McJoynt, editor of this classic work. The fall of Moorish Granada to Spain's Catholic rulers, Ferdinand and Isabella, was a turning point in establishing the boundaries between Christendom and Islam in the West, boundaries which had been in conflict for nearly a millennium. It also allowed ...

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

Cooper Square Press, 2000

Remarkable events told by a remarkable author
I'm not a historian. I just like to read history and historical fiction. I first discovered William Prescott's Conquest of Peru in the back of a used bookstore. My kids are from Peru so I decided I should check it out. The first section was about the Inca civilization; their society, customs, politics, and more. It was certainly interesting and readable, but a bit dry. Once the narrative turned ...
