For four hundred years - from the first Spanish assaults against the Arawak people of Hispaniola in the 1490s to the U.S. 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 one hundred 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 begins with a portrait of the enormous richness and diversity of life in the Americas prior to Columbus’s fateful voyage in 1492. He then follows the path of genocide from the Indies to Mexico and Central and South America, then north to Florida, Virginia, and New England, and finally out across the Great Plains and Southwest to California and the North Pacific Coast. 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. Advancing a thesis that is sure to create muchcontroversy, Stannard contends that the perpetrators of the American Holocaust drew on the same ideological wellspring as did the later architects of the Nazi Holocaust. It is an ideology that remains dangerously alive today, he adds, and one that in recent years has surfaced in American justifications for large-scale military intervention in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
At once sweeping in scope and meticulously detailed, American Holocaust is a work of impassioned scholarship that is certain to ignite intense historical and moral debate.

This description is PERFECTLY worded! Wow, absolutely excellent, this is gonna be a great listen! Thanks for posting this and I hope more people will check it out, although I already know the crying, whining and complaining that’s coming, as I’ve been around children many times in my life… LOL

Its a shame. When the original residents of North and South America were there, they had a unified culture, no war, they kissed bears and danced around with birds of prey on their heads. They were more like a flower-child community sharing love and kind words. And here comes those evil Europeans.

Hadn’t even invented the wheel or metal they were too busy enslaving, raping, murdering, mass human sacrificing and eating each other. Guess they want their caves and dying before 30 back.

Smallpox, measles, and influenza caused a nearly 90% decline in the Native American population.
The diseases introduced to Native Americans by Europeans were unintentional, not intended for annihilation. (The Holocaust involved a deliberate, government-led genocide targeting Jews based on ethnicity and beliefs.)
Native American population decline due to diseases happened over a longer time span and lacked a systematic campaign, unlike the Holocaust.

Great book. But I don’t think we should tar all white Europeans with the same brush. I have white friends who are perfectly decent peace loving people. Don’t let a few rotten apples spoil it for the rest.

That’s before the whites came, right? The redskins couldn’t mount an effective military resistance to the Europeans because they all hated each other too much after years of internecine warfare.

So you guys just can’t keep your hands off it even here. It’s a history book. Don’t like the history? Tough. Get some expertise instead of just dog whistles and jeering. Absolute trogs. It was genocide. You’re ontologically evil people.

Toadmanga- As much as I’d like to agree with you your wrong. No one race is “EVIL.” History has shown us time and time again that ALL humans are capable of GREAT horror and great compassion based on circumstance. Idc if your white, black, brown, or purple, go back and you will find each race committing atrocities. The circumstances that arouse when the two cultures of Europe and N.America clashed would have played out very similarly had it been China or Japan, they both saw themselves as superior people to ALL “barbarians,” what they called non-Asians. Had it been Arabs, they would have forced converted the Natives to Islam and their Muslim way of life, the way the Europeans did with Christianity.

The “whataboutism” in this comment thread is prodigious. Sick.
