A remarkable insight into Spain's colonial exploits May 23, 2001
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is a remarkable insight into the atrocious activities carried out by the Spanish conquistadors and settlers in the New World. What Las Casas witnessed was brutal and sickening. His hard hitting report, which was a letter to Prince Philip (later the king of Spain), is made all the more remarkable by the fact that it condemns the actions and policies of the subjects of the greatest empire on the face of the earth at that time. In a modern context it throws light on to unknown or forgotten acts of genocide and touches on themes that are so readily apparent in today's world.
