Book excerpt: The Crimson Conquest is an adventure tale set in the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru. Though the story has been dramatized to entertain the readers, it is filled with actual figures and events and maintains a high degree of historical accuracy. The author explores the adventures of Francisco Pizzaro, a Spanish conquistador famous for his expeditions that led to the Spanish conquest of Peru. He served as mayor of the newly established Panama City for a few years and embarked on two failed expeditions to Peru. In 1529, Pizarro got permission from the Spanish crown to conquer Peru and went on his third expedition and succeeded in it. When the coast inhabitants opposed this invasion, Pizarro moved inland and found the first Spanish settlement in Peru, San Miguel de Piura. Ultimately, he entered the Inca capital of Cuzco and finished his conquest of Peru.
