La invasión de América

After the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Indies, the exploitation of a vast continent inhabited by millions of people began. For several centuries, Hispanic forces deployed a whole series of military strategies to overthrow pre-Columbian empires and oppress Amerindian societies, profusely using terror, cruelty, and extreme violence. Coldly calculated combat tactics that triggered one of the bloodiest events in modern history and whose consequences we still suffer today. Professor Antonio Espino offers in this book a brilliant chronicle of the Conquest and analyzes military history and its most brutal and bloodthirsty aspects. An extraordinary and documented narration that allows us to observe the brutal past of the American continent in a new light. A light that strips the facts of any mythologizing deviation and of the repeated attempts of a good part of Hispanic conservative historiography to justify colonization, alleging an unequivocal civilizing intention.
