Clearly written, Peru: A Cultural History by Dobyns was illuminating to me. Having never studied S. America this was an excellent introductory book of Peru from the pre-Columbian era to the 1970's. Unfortunately it stopped there so I am still missing a good 30 years of history. It was a interesting read, though at times it got bogged down with economics, leading to me skipping a couple pages when it focused on naming every company that was involved with Peru. Still, an interesting read which broadened my knowledge of that nation a great deal.
