What to expect

'A first-class work of reporting [and] a work of compassion for Indigenous peoples everywhere' BENJAMIN MOSER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of SONTAG

'A non-fiction novel of modern conquest, capitalism and murder . . . a stunning work' GREG GRANDIN, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of FORDLANDIA

When We Sold God's Eye tells the astonishing true story of the Cinta Larga, an Amazonian tribe uncontacted by the Western world until the 1960s. Forced by the government to assimilate, they traded away their natural resources - exceptional diamonds - in exchange for the so-called comforts of industrial society. But one day, decades of trauma finally erupted into violence, in an act of vengeance that made headlines around the world.
