In 1542, after years of witnessing Indian suffering and slavery, Bartolome de Las Casas wrote this indictment against European exploitation and mistreatment of the native peoples of the New World. The document was dedicated to Prince Philip of Spain and appeared in published form in 1552. It carries all the urgency of a moment in history when it still seemed possible to reverse the tide.

First line
Everything that has happened since the marvellous discovery of the Americas - from the short-lived initial attempts of the Spanish to settle there, right down to the present day - has been so extraordinary that the whole story remains quite incredible to anyone who has not experienced it at first hand.
