This book provides some terrific insights from an original source for anyone looking to enhance understandings of the Inca and their Conquest. A terrific complement to McQuarries' Last Days of the Incas and Hemmings' Conquest of the Incas.

This book has literary and historical significance but honestly I loved it for an entirely different reason. I can see him now, writing this book decades later, frustrated with how his experience and history and people have been misremembered and slandered, trying to make peace with never having returned, taking on his father's name so he can feel like a soldier fighting for something. It's a human history, and I like it.
