Wright Ronald
Stolen Continents: The Indian Story
London: John Murray 1992. Hardcover. Good/Good. Ward George maps. The invasion and conquest of the Americas by Western Europeans told for the first time from the point of view of the native tribes and civilizations. When Columbus first set foot in the 'New World' there were about a hundred-million 'Americans' - a fifth of the human race - whose ancestors had already discovered it. Great civilizations had grown up; some were democracies others aggressive empires with cities as large as any then on Earth. Most would fall victim to Western disease Christian fanaticism and sheer barbarity. Sophisticated worlds were sacked great art destroyed and wealth stolen. Here the author quotes the actual speech and writing of five peoples - the Aztec Maya Inca Cherokee and Iroquois - through five centuries reliving their strange tragic experience and seeing ourselves the European invaders through their shrewd eyes. Not since 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' has there been such a powerful and moving account of the terrible war between Europe and the Americas. Contains 424 pages 23 x 15cm with 16 pages of b&w photos and 6 maps. Ex-library front endpaper removed some library markings. Black cloth boards in good illustrated dust jacket. Internally good: generally clean and unmarked in sound bindings. <br /> John Murray hardcover
