Trade Review
A masterful history." - John Frederick Schwaller, author of The History of the Catholic Church in Latin America: From Conquest to Revolution and Beyond

"Noble David Cook and Alexandra Parma Cook's study is methodologically rigorous and meticulously comprehensive, the result of decades-long research of Oré's publications and reports, the social milieus in which they were produced, and the actions of the renowned figures with whom Oré interacted." - John Charles, author of Allies at Odds: The Andean Church and Its Indigenous Agents, 1583-1671
