American Holocaust by Malcolm Hillgartner, David E. Stannard
The Conquest of the New World
The book examines the destruction of the indigenous populations of the Americas following the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century, arguing that this event was one of the most horrific genocides in human history. It explores the various means—ranging from disease to direct extermination—through which Native American populations were decimated. The author provides a detailed historical analysis, challenging the conventional narratives and highlighting the role of European colonialism and its devastating impact on indigenous cultures and societies across the continent. This work serves as a critical reevaluation of both American history and the broader implications of European imperialism.
