A very brief account of the destruction of the Indies. Narrated by Bartolomé de Las Casas. Translated, annotated, and prefaced by Sigurður Hjartarson.
It is estimated that when the Spanish arrived in the Americas, the world population was around 400-500 million, of which only 80 million lived in the Americas. Of these 80 million indigenous people, only about ten million remained sixty years later. The genocides of our time, even the Nazi Holocaust itself, pale in comparison.
