A quick overview

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

Enjoyable small photo book that gives a brief description of Peru, the Incas, the Nascas and other groups in Peru with emphasis of the time of the Spanish conquest. It is too small of a book to go into great details, but gives wonderful oversight and ends with a section of historic letters from the 1500's up to Hiram Bingham's rediscovery of Manchu Pichu. Excellent photos. 4x6, so it is a small book, but good for an overview. This was helpful in preparing me for a trip to Peru.

deserves a larger format

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2016

The historical overview is very informative, well written and sympathetic to the Incas, letting the facts speak for themselves when it comes to detailing the atrocities perpetrated by the Spaniards. The wealth of illustrations is only diminished by the small format. As such they are difficult to appreciate and easy to pass over. I would gladly pay more for something the size of a museum catalog.

Slaughter of the Inca

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

"At its peak in the early fifteenth century, the Inca Empire consisted of approximately twelve million people and stretched from the northern border of Ecuador to central Chile. In 1532, the Spanish arrived and invaded Inca territory, setting off a genocide. By 1535, the empire was destroyed."
This would have been a perfect description of the book under review, but it is actually from another book,
"The Destruction of the Inca Civilization (Bearing Witness: Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing)."
"The Incas: people of the Sun" does not praise this ancient civilization, only its destroyers.

This was a wonderful, short, insightful, book for what we were going to be doing.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

We purchased this one because we were going to be travelling to Peru to go to Machu Pichu. The Incas: People of the Sun gave great historical information that was quick to read and and sparked even more interest than we already had.

Simple and easy to understand the Inca culture and history

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

I wanted to learn history and culture of Inca before I traveled to Peru, but I was desperately busy. This is the only book I completely finished before I left USA, and it was really helpful. When I visited many places, I actually knew a lot more than other visitors.

I highly recommend this book before your trip to Peru.
