In Francisco Pizarro and His Brothers, Rafael Varón Gabai breaks fresh ground in his reconstruction of the Pizarros’ conquest as a new form of business enterprise, built up by Francisco Pizarro both to conduct government and to manage his family’s exploitation of Peru.
The private nature of the Pizarro enterprise, together with the public political support it received at first from the Spanish Crown, allowed Pizarro to build an organization of several hundred people.
Rafael Varen Gabai has taught Latin American history in England, the United States, and Peru and presently is researcher at the Institute for Peruvian Studies in Lima. He is the author of a book and numerous articles on sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Andean history and ethno-history.

The Pizarro Tragedy,
By
This review is from: Francisco Pizarro and His Brothers: Illusion of Power in Sixteenth-Century Peru (Hardcover)
This by far is the best work written on the Pizarro Family as a whole. I am glad to see more information written on Gonzalo, Hernando, and Juan Pizarro. Before this book was written most people did not fully understand who Francisco and his brothers were basically about. This book perfectly illustrates who they were and the situations surrounding their fate.
