A Brief History Of The Incas: From Rise, Through Reign, To Ruin    by Brien Foerster
Price: $4.95 USD. 23810 words. Published on April 8, 2011. .

I wrote this book because as a frequent visitor to Cuzco, and the Inca world, there are no economically priced and pocket sized Inca history books available in Peru or in fact anywhere in English.

I wrote this book after 5 years of exploring and studying the Inca and the sacred sites of Cusco and the Sacred Valley of Peru. There was no good guidebook that I could find explaining what the famous and not so famous sites meant, who built them, and when. As a professional tour guide of the area, I feel it is important that visitors have a pocket sized guide like this.
