The Discovery and Conquest of Peru by Pedro De Cieza De Leon

Presents the history of Peru that is based largely on interviews with Pedro de Cieza de Leun's conquistador compatriots, as well as with Indian informants knowledgeable of the Incan past.

“Even those outside the specialty of Peruvian history will welcome the publication of this translation, as it provides a window into the conquest era written by a Spaniard who was both conscientious about the material and a shrewd observer”—Susan Ramirez, DePaul University
“This volume contains a wealth of detail about the conquest of Peru, revealing both the insights of a keen mind and invaluable first-hand accounts of the events covered.”—Roland Hamilton, San Jose State University

Pedro de Cieza de LeÓn (c. 1518–1555) was a soldier in Spain’s royal forces who recorded that country’s conquest of Peru.
