Summary: "A novel which evoked for the first time the conquest of America by the Spaniards, was so successful after the last war (to the point that for three years Kathleen Winsor's Ambre was on the best-seller list). The author's intransigence had something to do with it, and it caused a scandal. Shellabarger, an American historian who has turned to the novel, dared to evoke in detail the first attempt at genocide in history: the annihilation of Native American civilization for the benefit of the conquerors from old Europe. Published at the end of a world war, his book is not only a historical novel - even though it is now considered an absolute model of its kind - but also and above all it aims to bring to light the horror that stained the white man's great dream of domination from the outset".
