Throughout the historical narrative, the author wove together critical information for true understanding of the subject with a tone that draws the listener into the story line. I would highly recommend this book to anybody who wants an initial understanding of this period of the Incas.

I want to review/listen more about the Incas than I can remember from school days. It is a well-written book and does not feel as though you are in a history class.

keep the listener engaged.

The writer does an excellent job of explaining the different views and allowing the user to come to their own judgments about what may have truly happened. I found out about this book from Lonely Planet-the key travel book for the area and I agree with them and fully recommend it.
