The mysterious ancient Inca country located in Peru has always attracted the attention of many people. For hundreds of years, the legend of the Inca city Vilcabamba has been hidden deep in the Spanish chronicles of the past. Kim McQuarrie starts from the present day more than three hundred years later, and uses the discoveries of contemporary explorers to compose an epic story of the Inca Empire's resistance to the Spanish. It is sad to read. This book tells the story of how a splendid ancient civilization came to complete destruction. From it, we can learn about the history of invasion and colonization of South America by capitalist countries represented by Spain, and thus gain a deep understanding of the history of the development of modern South America and its impact on contemporary development.
