Excellent book, read it during my formative years! He writes with an obvious agenda and has an axe to grind, but then again, you can't blame him. I loved how the book just jumped into the subject full force by debunking any notion that Christopher Columbus was some kind of hero and revealed how brutal and racist his whole enterprise of "discovering" America was.
