Summary

Of great benefit for scholars and teachers, this is the first English translation and critical edition of a rare refutation of Bartolomé; de las Casas's famous 1552 Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies, one of the most influential texts of the sixteenth century. Written by a fellow Spaniard, the soldier Bernardo de Vargas Machuca, about 1603, the Defense of the Western Conquests remains a valuable document for providing insights into the other side of the debate over the morality of the Spanish conquest.
