That he saw nothing paradoxical in his intentions is one of the most remarkable and tragic aspects of this unforgettable story.

To get a grasp of the original inhabitants of the United States, Canada, and Latin American nations, it is crucial to understand the roots of where it all came from and what was going on in people’s minds before the European settlers arrived.

repetitive and limited information
the narrator gives no enthusiam to the narration, and what limited and vague information that was given sounded like a high schooler trying to hit a word limit on his essay. He repeates sentences word by word with the same information about every 10 minutes. He claims there is not alot of information about the culture, but dont believe it. Look for some other audiobook if you want to learn about the incas.

Pretty terrible
The narrators pronunciation was extremely bad and as posh and English as possible. The narration was completely out of place with the subject matter. The story read like a midterm paper written for a college Peruvian indigenous history class. D+ at best!

I know all about it from history classes, but listening to it is so much better than having to read about it in a book.
