La conquista justificada. Los justos títulos de España en Indias

This paperback is designed to give a quick synthesis of the Spanish struggle for justice. It succeeds admirably. Guillermo Vázquez Franco has organized his book chronologically and covers each major step in Spain’s effort to justify the conquest. He includes numerous extended quotations from the most famous documents of the period. But for English-speaking students, Lewis Hanke’s books remain the better source of information on the subject, even though Vázquez Franco does not cite Hanke at all.
