Born to Die: Disease and New World Conquest, 1492–1650 - New Approaches to the Americas
Cook, Noble David (Florida International University)
Noble David Cook explains, in vivid detail and sweeping scope, how the conquest of the New World was achieved by a handful of Europeans - not by the sword, but by deadly disease. From 1492 to 1650, from Hudson's Bay in the north to southernmost Tierra del Fuego, disease weakened Amerindian resistance to outside domination.
