Tragic history
Fascinating but tragic story of genocide of the Native Americans. Exploitation and lies used to steal land and destroy an ancient culture. Like many civilised countries created on the blood of indigenous people. Well written and accessible!!

very moving and informative
This book paints a vivid picture of the corruption and brutality which led to our world being deprived of the wonderful native American culture and people who could teach us so much today in our current climate crisis.
it really helped me to get a true idea of the incredibly inhumane suffering the native Americans went through.

Truly upsetting
In some ways the book gets repetitive. but that is not the fault of the book/author. It is the fault of the way the native American bands were treated one after another. its heartbreaking and a must read.

An important read
The many and varied ways that the Indians are betrayed, tricked, dispossessed and murdered are told in straightforward, non-emotive prose and yet I don't think I've ever read such a saddening, infuriating, depressing, heartbreaking, soul crushing book. But reading of a deliberate act of theft and genocide should illicit such responses. An important read.

Brutal and heartbreaking.
The evil that men do in the name of money and religion. Heartbreaking and brutal.

Still shocking 50 years later
It is shocking to realise that when this great work of historical revisionism was published in 1970, most Americans still thought of the American Indians as primitive savages. An unholy alliance of land greed and religious zealotry sealed the Indians’ fate. A proud, well-adapted group of many tribes lost their ancestral lands and were betrayed over and over again. What wickedness!

An exceptional history of genocide and exploitation
Thank God for books like this to correct the American Settler narrative An incredible history of a dignified and diverse First Nation people, you can only reel at the land grab and genocide of a people who have incredibly beyond near extermination managed to survive it..how America can claim to be the land of the free is extraordinary as it was said by one of their own they are judged by their terrible history ..this book felt like it was going to break my heart and it did but I'm glad I heard and understood some of the real history of the Tribes and their peoples experiences
