Book excerpt: Francisco Pizarro (1478 ?-1541), figura central de la Conquista española, como Cortés en México, entró tardíamente en la Historia, cuando a más de cincuenta años descubrió el Perú y sus fabulosas riquezas. Hijo bastardo de un militar hidalgo adinerado y de una criada, Pizarro nació se crió pobre en Estre-madura y fue analfabeto toda su vida. Muy joven, se dejó llevar por los espejismos del Nuevo Mundo descubierto apenas unos diez años atrás. Después de dos décadas de anadanzas infructuosas en zonas marginales del imperio en formació, la fortuna la sonríe : dirige su propia expedició rumbo al mítico Perú. En tres ocasiones, conduce a sus hombres con férrea voluntad, sin flaquear. La búsqueda habría de durar varios años. Cuando finalmente el sueño se hace realidad, en algunos meses Pizarro y su hueste someten a sangre y fuego el Imperio de los incas. El bastardo, que trata ahora directamente con Carlos V, es nombrado Marqués y ya está a la cabeza de un inmenso territorio que dirige en provecho propio, de sus hermanos y de sus leales. Sin embargo, las rivalidades y los odios acabarán con esa suerte sin percedente. Menos de diez años después, Pizarro muere a manos de los partidarios du su socio y rival asesinado. Diego de Almagro. Con él se extinguiría la edad de oro de los conquistadores, ante el creciente intervencionismo de la Corona celosa y temerosa des éxito y nuevo poder de esos hombres salidos de la nada. En este libro, el recorrido vital de Pizarro sirve de hilo conductor para reflexionar sobre los mecanismos de la Conquista, los hombres que la llevaron a cabo, sus relaciones compleja y contradictorias, los medíos de que disponían, sus objetivos y sus evoluciones a lo largo de esos años de sangre y horror para los pueblos indígenas.

Book excerpt: Establishing Francisco Pizarro firmly as a man of his time, Stuart Stirling shows that there was little difference in moral terms between Elizabeth I's political expediency in ordering Mary Queen of Scots's execution and Pizarro's killing of the Inca Atahualpa - a deed for which his name has been regarded with infamy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ruthless conquistador who toppled the Inca Empire came from humble origins. The illegitimate son of a soldier, Pizarro made his way to the New World to make his fortune. He took part in expeditions led by Alonso de Ojeda and Vasco Núñez de Balboa, before partnering up with Diego de Almagro and Hernando de Luque to lead an expedition of his own. The story of Pizarro’s strategically brilliant, if ethically problematic, conquest of the Inca will draw readers in, as will the tale of how infighting among Pizarro’s followers and those of Almagro led to Pizarro’s death.
