Review:After much urging from friends, I've finally read Stannard's American Holocaust. It's a captivating book that gives a background into history that has been retold and written in the favor of the conquerors but has down played and in some cases, completely looked over, the devastating effects of their enterprise on the peoples of the New World, some of which still echo today.
