A new source of important archival and archaeological information examining the fall of the Inca Empire in unprecedented detail"--
Review Quotes: "Voices from Vilcabamba is a revealing project. . . . Like all good history, the generalities are replaced with human-level portraits of self-interest, incompetence, and cruelty, and readers develop a much greater appreciation for the personal and political motivations and machinations of the day and for how slow and drawn-out the process of conquest and colonialism really was."

"The volume offers a welcome synthesis of the events of the late sixteenth century and presents readable and well-noted translations of essential texts. . . . Voices from Vilcabamba is a valuable scholarly assemblage that makes the Vilcabamba region intellectually accessible to an unprecedented degree. The book offers a straightforward historical narrative, solid historiography, and primary sources that make it possible to consider both Inca and Spanish aims and actions. It is a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on the Incas and colonial Peru."
