The Spanish conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century was one of the most important & cataclysmic events in history. Spanish expeditions endured incredible hardships in order to open up the lands of the ' New World', & few stories in history can match these for drama & endurance.

In Conquistadors, Michael Wood follows in the footsteps of some of the greatest of the Spanish adventurers travelling from the forests of Amazonia to Lake Titicaca, the deserts of North Mexico, the snowpeaks of the Andes & the heights of Machu Picchu. He experiences the epic journeys of Cortes, Pizarro, Orellana & Cabeza de Vaca, & explores the turbulent & terrifying events surrounding the Spanish conquest of the Aztec & Inca empires.

Wood brings these stories to vivid life, highlighting both the heroic accomplishments & the complex moral legacy of the European invasion. Conquistadors is Michael Wood at his best
- thoughtful, provocative & gripping history.
