ANSWER: “Columbus and other Cannibals” by Jack D. Forbes. In this book Forbes illuminates the nature of the wetiko disease, the disease of greed, arrogance, and violence that has consumed the Western World. “The overriding characteristic of the wetiko is that he consumes other human beings, that is, he is a predator and a cannibal.” There are numerous examples of cruelty in the book from the popes who castrated young boys for their choirs to Spanish invaders who mutilated indigenous babies for sport. The “high degree of derangement” in these and countless other acts of depravity cannot be denied.
