The article discusses several books. Some of them are "Rivers of Blood, Rivers of Gold: Europe's Conquest of Indigenous Peoples," by Mark Cocker.; "The World and the West: The European Challenge and the Overseas Response in the Age of Empire," by Philip D. Curtin and "The Unfinished Twentieth Century," by Jonathan Schell. The first book is a well-documented history of the conquest and extermination of tribal peoples in different countries. The second book explores whether imperial conquest was driven by desires of home governments or the impetuous acts of men-on-the-spot. The last book discusses important political events in the twentieth century.
