Book Description
History is written by the winners. Diaz and de Gama … Columbus and de León … Pizarro and Cortés. Their exploits and those of others who planted the flag of European conquest around the world are well recorded. But what about the people they found on arrival, the native populations soon to endure conquest, enslavement, and disease from those who laid claim to their homeland?
