Description

"When Manco Capac, Spanish-backed puppet-ruler of the Incas, escaped to the countryside and levied an army, Francisco Pizarro was faced with a full-scale rebellion. This program recounts the events of that massive revolt, focusing on the ten-month siege that left the capital, Cuzco, in ruins. Despite helpful knowledge of European military tactics, Manco Capac was hampered by the Spaniards' technical advantages, and by the arrival of harvest time, which broke up his troops. Forced into fighting a guerrilla war, the last Inca emperor is murdered eight years later"--Container.
