For those with an interest in South American history, this is an enjoyable work based on tales of conquest and ancient civilisation. I read it in big chunks and really enjoyed it.

A bit gorey in places. Didn't like as much as his travel books I've read, but still very good. To be honest, I don't like history books all that much but I gave this a go because I liked the travel books. I learned a fair bit about the Aztecs and that, so I suppose it was educational!
