History of the Conquest of Mexico & History of the Conquest of Peru by William H Prescott
Available in one volume, these two works represent both a triumph over personal adversity and an unsparing saga of religious imperialism.
[History of the Conquest of Mexico] is as much a triumph over the genre as it is a saga of religious imperialism, Hernán Cortés' harsh victory over the Aztec nation-- Neil Baldwin * Los Angeles Times *
William Hickling Prescott (1796-1859) ranks with Francis Parkman and Edward Gibbon as one of the greatest historians of the 19th century. Despite eye problems that led to eventual blindness, Prescott wrote many widely praised works of history including The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella and The History of Phillip II.
