This is an important and long overdue work. David Orique's study of how Bartolome de las Casas used confession as a tool in his long struggle for justice for the indigenous people is compelling and faithful to the historical record. This is a major new source on one of the principal elements in the evolution of modern human rights, in which Las Casas was the central actor in the long sixteenth century. -Lawrence Clayton, author of Bartolome de las Casas and the Conquest of the Americas
