Long before the first European settlers planted their flags on American soil, the continent pulsed with the rich civilisations, languages, and traditions of hundreds of Indigenous nations — and Angie Debo's landmark work stands as one of the most authoritative and compassionate accounts of their enduring story. A History of the Indians of the United States chronicles the full sweep of Native American history, from pre-Columbian societies through the devastating era of colonisation, forced removal, and broken treaties, to the resilience and political resurgence of the 20th century. Debo presents a sweeping narrative that does not flinch from the systematic injustices inflicted upon Indigenous peoples, illuminating the profound human cost of westward expansion with meticulous scholarship and moral clarity. Debo, long regarded as one of America's foremost historians of Native affairs, argues with quiet but undeniable force that the story of the United States cannot be honestly told without centring the experiences of its original inhabitants. Her prose is both rigorous and deeply humane, drawing on decades of archival research to give voice to nations too often rendered invisible in mainstream historical accounts. This Folio Society edition, introduced by Shirley Leckie, presents Debo's essential work in a form befitting its stature — leaving the reader to question just how much of the American story has yet to be fully reckoned with.
