Die If You Must: Brazilian Indians In the Twentieth Century
By John Hemming
Macmillan 855pp £30 order from our bookshop
THE HISTORY OF what has happened to Brazil’s Indians in the last hundred years is about as exciting and important a tale as any told about the huge global events which have characterised the twentieth century. Those of us who became involved with the Indians a little over halfway through the story saw a disaster unfolding. There seemed to be nothing anyone could do except, perhaps, soften their passing. Extinction loomed.
