This author, being outside of the government-approved anthropological system, is able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the real, on-going cultures in parts of South America, which continue to practice human sacrifice. He also has done extensive research in human sacrifice; and this book led me to investigate others like it.

This author details his own travels and digs at high altitude archaeology. It is a very rivoting book for more reasons than the often too-morbid topic of human sacrifice, because it also shows a side of culture and history in the Andean mountains that is rarely talked about or known.

It's an excellent read.
