The Missionaries: God against the Indians [Paperback]

The Missionaries was intended to be the concluding book of an autobiographical trilogy (beginning with Voices of the Old Sea and Jackdaw Cake) but instead was transmuted into a deeply searing examination of the extermination of indigenous tribes by North American fundamentalist missionaries. Lewis manages to maintain a magnificently superior calm as he gradually reveals, through their own words and actions, the self-serving illogicality, ruthless double-standards, and mercenary greed of the American missionaries. Fortunately Lewis's writing set off repercussions in his own lifetime, and Survival International was formed.A searing indictment of attempts by fundamentalist Christian missionaries to convert indigenous tribes around the globe; it is Lewis's writing on this subject that led to the establishment of Survival International.GB
