They changed the course of history, but the myth they established was even stranger than their real achievements. This \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e deploys the latest scholarship to shatter and replace the traditional narrative. Chapters explore New World civilizations prior to the invasions, the genesis of conquistador culture on both sides of the Atlantic, the roles black Africans and Native Americans played, and the consequences of the invasions. The book reveals who the conquistadors were and what made their adventures possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Restall\u003c\/strong\u003e is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Latin American History and Director of Latin American Studies, Pennsylvania State University. \u003cstrong\u003eFelipe Fernández-Armesto\u003c\/strong\u003e is William P.
