mara_miriam 's review for:
Many travelogues written by white men have an overriding sense of condescension and authoritative tone that is wrongheaded and uninteresting; this book (mostly) avoids these pitfalls, although the memoir portions were definitely of less interest to me than the historical research. I learned a lot about Incan culture and the history of colonialism in Peru; I especially appreciated the effort made by the author to make clear that although Bingham is an important historical figure, he did not discover Machu Picchu.
