What reading level is The Spanish Conquerors; a Chronicle of the Dawn of Empire, Overseas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Atahualpa fell before Pizarro, a victim of assurance which was the result of arrogance. Entering Caxa- marca late in the day, Atahualpa had notified Pizarro that he would spend the night within its gates, but with only a fraction of his forces, and these "unarmed." What need, forsooth, of arms, of copper-pointed spears, of bows and arrows, and of lasses, had Atahualpa? Was he not Inca.? Was 184 THE SPANISH CONQUERORS he not literally Child of the Sun? " Your God, " he is said to have boasted to... Father Valverde, "was, you say, slain by men, the work of his hands; my god," pointing proudly to the sinking Sun, "dies but to live again!" That November evening, 1532, Pizarro and Ata- hualpa supped together. Breaking bread with the defeated seems to have been an amiable if some- what ironical Spanish custom, whether those so honored were themselves Spaniards or not. Cris- tobal de Olid had supped with his prisoners Gil Gonzalez and Francisco de las Casas, but only to have his hospitality requited by slashes at his throat.
