Summary
A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies is the story of the Spanish Dominican priest Bartolome de las Casas, who came to the Americas in the 16th century. Immediately he was struck by the inhumane ways in which the native peoples were treated by the European explorers and conquerors, Las Casas went on to be a leading opponent of slavery, torture, and genocide of the Native Americans by the Spanish colonists. A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies is his personal account, with chapters covering Cuba, Nicaragua, Hispaniola, Guatemala, Venezuela, Florida, and many other areas conquered by the Spaniards.

A sickening account of what lurks inside many
Arguably the darkest chapter of human history so far...
I will never be willing to visit a pre-Columbian ruin knowing what happened. I appreciate the diseases had the large part, but this was true Genocide for financial gain, many could've recovered given a morsel of compassion. The accounts given are the most awful things I have ever heard and I never want to hear the likes of again.
