Description: "In his travels, Thomson visited many remote lost cities among the interconnecting paths the Incas laid across the Andes, talked to archaeologists and explorers working in the area, and investigated the remains of the remarkable Inca civilization. The result of his discoveries and research is The White Rock, an engaging history of the Inca people and their heartland, which vividly resurrects the Inca culture and gives us the true flavor of their strange and sometimes hostile world."--Jacket.
