The battle of Cajamarca is more a testament of Atahualpas stupidity and Pizarros ruthlessness than any special military genius. There's a reason it's also called the massacre at Cajamarca.

It's not just the Battle of Cajamarca. The whole campaign is remarkable. I just found it all very interesting - I'm certainly no fan of Pizarro.
