A fierce and moving account of the genocide practised by the Spanish colonialistsBartolome de Las Casas was the first and fiercest critic of Spanish colonialism in the New World.

Dedicated to Philip II to alert the Castilian Crown to these atrocities and demand that the Indians be entitled to the basic rights of humankind, this passionate work of documentary vividness outraged Europe and contributed to the idea of the Spanish 'Black Legend' that would last for centuries.
