About the book

Agustín de Zárate's History of the Discovery and Conquest of Peru is an early Spanish account of the conquest of the Inca Empire and the turbulent struggles among the conquistadors that followed. Drawing on his experience as a royal official in Peru, Zárate describes Francisco Pizarro, the fall of Inca power, colonial administration and civil conflict, making the work an important sixteenth-century source for the Spanish conquest of South America.
