Chapter 10 "The Great Rebellion" is riveting! It reads like a novel.

Spoiler:
But the Incas were certainly doomed. Manco's heroic resistance with some short-term successes could not possibly succeed in the long or even medium term. As Hemming points out:

"Manco Inca was trying to expel an invader supported by the resources of a huge empire. He could not hope to succeed against its united determination."
