Summary

A new paperback edition of the 1995 classic, the first comprehensive survey of the society and history of the Inca to take into account three decades of new archaeological and ethnohistorical data. Davies's readable account reveals an empire that spanned 2,000 miles at the time of the Spanish conquest but has remained largely a mystery.
