Negative Positive
Title: No maps and other flaws...
Review: I cannot challenge the accuracy of this book, however, Axelrod is clearly a left-winger and his political leaning shows. He makes it very, very, very clear of his sympathies for the Indians and blacks. Geronimo or Molly Ivins could have written this book. The white man, especially the Spanish, are ripped apart. In later chapters he picks apart Reagan and other conservatives. Axelrod doesn't just state the facts, he interjects personal political jabs (very unprofessional). Also, there is not ONE map in this book. Early voyages, the progress of the colonies, etc. would become much clearer with maps. This is a major flaw.I will stay away from any book written by Axelrod.
