Description
Noble David Cook explains, in vivid detail and sweeping scope, how the conquest of the New World used to be achieved by a handful of Europeans–not by the sword, but by deadly disease. The Aztec and Inca empires with their teeming millions were destroyed by a couple of hundred Europeans whose most necessary weapons, despite the fact that the conquerors didn’t understand it on the time, were diseases up to now unknown within the Americas. The as a result of colonizing experience within the Americas, whether of the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, English, or French, used to be the collapse of native society.
