Synopsis

This is a detailed account of the conquest of Latin America by the Spanish. Hugh Thomas is a senior statesman of Latin American history, and a superb storyteller. He has written a number of award-winning histories, including Cuba: the Pursuit of Freedom, and The Spanish Civil War. This will likely become one of Thomas's most appreciated works. This is not just another rehash of the conquest, but a fresh look at one of history's greatest moments.
