This isn't your usual Manifest Destiny or How the West was Won tale. Try seeing it from the other side this time!

From back cover: Ronald Wright, a leading Canadian author, tells the story, much of it in their own words, of how five great American civilizations-- Aztec, Maya, Inca, Cherokee, and Iroquois-- were invaded, colonized, and suppressed by Europeans, and how they still tenaciously survive after five hundred years.
STOLEN CONTINENTS has been hailed as the best single-volume history of American conquest currently available as it gives voice to the voiceless. (Bookpage)
