A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies (Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias) is a passionate report by the Dominican friar Bartolomé de las Casas on the cruelty of the Spanish conquest of the Americas. He wrote it in 1542 for the future King Philip II and the royal court, and he printed it at Seville in 1552.
