Green hell;: Massacre of the Brazilian Indians

Brasilia is viewed by the author as a monument to the death of the Indians. This thundering history of the exploitation and the massacre of primitive peoples from the 16th century up to today in the name of 'progress' will shock and inform. The catalog of extermination included diseased clothing and outright gunning down from the air. This rush of history and contemporary events presents bizarre images of luxury and excess in the middle of a jungle 500 miles from the nearest city. Private armies wiped out entire villages by aerial strafing, and poisoning of children by poisoned candy. A best-seller in France, this English translation will spread the word of national and international greed to a wider audience.
