Title: American Holocaust
Subtitle: The Conquest of the New World
Author: David E. Stannard
Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner
Format: Unabridged
Length: 14 hrs and 17 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-26-17
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: History, American
Publisher's Summary:
For 400 years - from the first Spanish assaults against the Arawak people of Hispaniola in the 1490s to the US Army's massacre of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in the 1890s - the indigenous inhabitants of North and South America endured an unending firestorm of violence. During that time the native population of the Western Hemisphere declined by as many as 100 million people.
Indeed, as historian David E. Stannard argues in this stunning new book, the European and white American destruction of the native peoples of the Americas was the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world.
Stannard reveals that wherever Europeans or white Americans went, the native people were caught between imported plagues and barbarous atrocities, typically resulting in the annihilation of 95 percent of their populations. What kind of people, he asks, do such horrendous things to others? His highly provocative answer: Christians. Digging deeply into ancient European and Christian attitudes toward sex, race, and war, he finds the cultural ground well prepared by the end of the Middle Ages for the centuries-long genocide campaign that Europeans and their descendants launched - and in places continue to wage - against the New World's original inhabitants.
Critic Reviews:
"Carefully researched, [and] well-written...A provocative account for public and academic libraries." (
Library Journal)

Five Stars
A MUST read!
Dances with Genocide
If you did not know; you should have known. An eye opening well-written detailing of the truth of the events, and the reasons underscoring why and how genocide shaped the Americas and the world. Columbus day can now be regarded as a day that should live in infamy. The Mayan Apocalypse began in 1492.
Five Stars
Fast delivery keep up the great work
Truth
As real as it gets, both fortunately and unfortunately. Stannard is extensive and exact. Could not recommend another book above this one.
Five Stars
An amazing historical account of the destruction of Native Americans both in North and South America.
