‘With
wide scholarship and an admirable grasp of narrative, John
Hemming records a melancholy and inexorable history of man’s
inhumanity to man…Amazon Frontier will be the classic
work on the destruction of the Brazilian tribes.’ (Andrew
Sinclair, The Times)
‘John
Hemming has written another wonderful book… a brilliant
chronicler, he brings together on a single canvas the essential
chronology of the disastrous contact between European and
Indian…’ (Richard Gott, The Guardian)
‘Mr
Hemming has assembled this terrible sequel from a daunting
range of international sources… Together with its predecessor
‘Red Gold’, ‘Amazon Frontier’ must
stand unequalled in its field. It is at once scholarly, readable
and deeply humane.’ (Colin Thubron, Sunday
Telegraph)
‘Restrained
and scholarly, this is a powerful, indeed a harrowing account
of the tragic encounter by which modern Brazil… was
conceived.’ (Godfrey Hodgson, The Independent)
