This book is the textbook for an overview of this period of history. Often skipping the more dramatic narrative, the authors look at the structural development that formed early Latin America. The reading can be a bit dry, but it is insightful.
I don't think this is the book I partly read but close enough. I found it lying in the middle of the road all wet and beat up. I dried it out and read some of it. Probably a textbook. Very dry of course but the story of exploration and conquest is interesting. I pretty much gave up after that.
