The Tears of the Indians is a historical book written by Bartolome De Las Casas in 1656. The book provides a detailed and true account of the cruel massacres and slaughters of over twenty million innocent people during the colonization of the Americas by European powers. The author, a Spanish Dominican friar and historian, witnessed firsthand the atrocities committed by his fellow countrymen against the indigenous populations and was one of the first to speak out against them. In this book, he exposes the violence, exploitation, and enslavement of the natives by the conquistadors and highlights the devastating impact of colonization on their culture, traditions, and way of life. The Tears of the Indians is a powerful and sobering account of one of the darkest chapters in human history and a call for justice and compassion towards all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or nationality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
