1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A fascinating piece of South American historyBy Midwest Book ReviewWhen the Europeans arrived; every part of America was due for a major conflict of history. "Contested Territory: Mapping Peru in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century" delves into the colonial history of Peru as the Spanish conquistadors butt heads with the natives for control on the region and the lasting impression through history that these conflicts left. A fascinating piece of South American history; "Contested Territory" should have a spot in every world history collection.
