Conquistadors

"This is historical narrative of a very high quality. The prose is lucid, the descriptive episodes powerfully drawn. Wood describes fairly and sensitively the vast gulf that separated these Bronze Age [Aztec and Inca] cultures from the Western behemoth that overwhelmed and destroyed them, stressing in particular the near total inability of each society to comprehend the mores and values of the other."--Gene Brucker, Professor Emeritus of History, University of California, BerkeleyWood, Michael is the author of 'Conquistadors' with ISBN 9780520230644 and ISBN 0520230647.
