This is a 486-page
book about the first voyage into Caribbean Sea when new territories were
discovered by Europeans, and how this new found world was occupied by them.
Their expedition was followed by gold-diggers and so-called pioneers to
Caribbean islands in search of treasures. It details crimes of Europeans in
these islands, killing, torturing, and slaving natives, and looting and
plundering their homes and lands. The barbarity of Europeans detailed in the
book, towards not only natives of the newly discovered lands but also against
each other is hard to imagine.
