Description

The Spanish conquest of the Americas in the 16th century was one of the most significant events in history. Michael Wood follows the journeys of some of the greatest Spanish adventurers as they explored the New World, from the Amazonian forests to the Andean snowpeaks and the heights of Machu Picchu.

Wood brings to life the epic stories of Cortes, Pizarro, Orellana and Cabeza de Vaca, highlighting both their heroic accomplishments and the complex moral legacy of the European invasion. This is a gripping history that explores the turbulent events surrounding the conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires.

A thought-provoking and engaging read, Conquistadors offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal moment in history. Michael Wood's writing brings these stories to vivid life, making for a compelling and informative book.
