Recent archaeological discoveries in Peru are casting doubt over the received wisdom on the Spanish conquistadors' defeat of the Incas. It's long been believed that Francisco Pizarro led a lightning defeat of one of the mightiest civilisations of the New World.
But archaeologist Guillermo Cock has uncovered what may be the first physical evidence of an untold story of Inca guerrilla warfare, rebellion, counter-sieges and terror tactics.
The Great Inca Rebellion combines forensic anthropology, science and historical analysis to explore the possibility that it may have taken the Spanish decades to subdue Inca rebels who mounted guerrilla wars against the treasure-seeking conquistadors.
