Summary
In 1531, Pizarro led a small but well-trained army along the Pacific coast of South America. With less than 200 men, he conquered the Inca Empire, which ruled what is now Peru, establishing Spanish dominion.
Featuring detailed accounts of Pizarro's expeditions and the battles he fought, Francisco Pizarro tells the story of this bold and brutal conqueror, and describes the world in his time, from the Spain of his childhood to the vast empire of the Inca he would ultimately destroy.
