Book Reviews of The Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Legacy (Plume)

Book Review: Setting History Right
Summary: 5 Stars

Mr. Sale cites the journals of the men who came to the New World with Columbus and tells their story and the story of the Taino, Arawak, and Carib people who suffered under Columbus and his men. It is a sad story, but one that must be told if ever we are to get our history right. Mr. Sale is to be congratulated and thanked for his tremendous efforts to work to set the record straight. We have a long way to go toward that end. It's high time. This is a book well worth your reading. 5 Stars!
