The Conquest of the Incas
Description
In 1527, Francisco Pizarro set off on his third voyage to the New World in hopes of finding great riches in the land of the Inca in Peru. In this program, Michael Wood takes us back in time to discover how Pizarro ransomed the life of a king for a room full of gold and silver. This program portrays a remarkable story of greed, faith, dishonor, and valor. Few stories, if any, in history match its sheer drama.
