Format:Paperback
I thought I had a pretty good handle on the treatment and situation of Native Americans since the arrival of Columbus. After reading this book I was stunned. Though I will never truely understand what it is like to have my culture ripped away, I have a better perspective. Why isn't this book required reading. And yes, disease did kill more than guns, but the Europeans used it to their advantage. You can't ignore the statements of some of our most revered past leaders regarding the necessity of eliminating the Navtive Americans.

Prof Stannard's book is painfully informative. He wades through decades of native extermination, of the 'new world', and explains the reasons behind this tragedy not only through a historic lens,but also the religious-socio-psychological factors that contributed.
A must-read for anyone who isnt ignorant of: "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"
Along with this book id recommend Dee Brown's 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee'

A masterpiece of scholarship and analysis.
Our entire culture is built on Holocaust Denial while those most responsible for the abnesia drape themselves in the flag of holocaust memorialism but have little honesty in their true agenda. An agenda that allows in the USA alone for there to be at least 50 Holocaust memorials, museums and monuments...only problem is they are ALL about the Holocaust that happened in Europe and NOT about the colossal extermination that took place where they live. It is not only denial on the part of the nations of the Americas and Europe but those responsible for this Holocaust Denial in relation to Indian America insist on an image of being the world's caretakers of holocaust memory. What a bloody audacity.
This brilliant book re-addresses the imbalance.
