About this book
In a searing exposé of the atrocities in the early colonial Americas, "A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies" by Bartolomé de las Casas unveils a dark chapter in history. Penned in the early 16th century, this document chronicles the unfathomable horrors inflicted upon the Indigenous populations by the Popish Spanish Party. Las Casas vividly recounts the unrelenting massacres, butcheries, and unspeakable cruelties endured by the inhabitants of the West-Indies over a harrowing span of Forty-Two Years. Ideal for historians and civic activists, this narrative sheds light on the devastating consequences of colonization and the resilience of those who suffered under the yoke of oppression.
