Since you asked about this specifically, I got the goods for you:
The "other fella" who conquered the Inca was Francisco Pizarro (the 2nd cousin of Cortez).
Without getting into original sources, the most readable book about these events is The Last Days of The Incas by Kim MacQuarie.
It's an absolutely epic story. One of the most richly documented and mind blowing accounts of a clash of civilizations we've got, imo.
I can't recommend this one enough, though it's not as short as you're asking for, ~500 pages.
Bonus - here's a photo I took of Pizarro:

Yo! That's epic man!
500 pages is quite hefty though... I think it'll wander onto my list for a later read-through.
You sound convincing about the book, anything that's akin to the above, but on the shorter side?
Doesn't have to be about the Inca's per se.
