Another good read

[GeorgeO]

The Last Crusade-The Epic Voyages of Vasco Da Gama, by Nigel Cliff. Very well written and sheds light on a lot of history that was not too well known( to me at least)

As a follow up to this, and since I found that there are some gaps in my education, I plan to start reading up a little more-this one is next:

Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe: Laurence Bergreen: 9780066211732: Amazon.com: Books
