Book
Stolen continents : five hundered years of conquest and resistance in the Americas / Ronald Wright.
"Stolen Continents is a history of the Americas unlike any other. This volume chronicles the conquest and survival of five great American cultures - in their own words. Ronald Wright gives voice to the Aztec, Maya, Inca, Cherokee, and Iroquois, quoting their authentic speech and writing and illuminating their unique views of history. Through their words, we relive their strange, tragic experiences - including, in a new afterword, incidents that bring us into the twenty-first century. Covering the more than five hundred years since Europeans first set foot in the New World, Wright weaves together contemporary accounts with his own historical narrative to create a record, one that is powerful, vivid and accurate."--BOOK JACKET.
