In the wake of European expansion, disease outbreaks in the New
World caused the greatest loss of life known to history.
Post-contact Native American inhabitants succumbed in staggering
numbers to maladies such as smallpox, measles, influenza, and
typhus, against which they had no immunity. A collection of case
studies by historians, geographers, and anthropologists, "Secret
Judgments of God" discusses how diseases with Old World origins
devastated vulnerable native populations throughout Spanish
America. In their preface to the paperback edition, the editors
discuss the ongoing, often heated debate about contact population
history.
