A gem in an ocean of books on Columbus

There are many books on Columbus but none surpass the quality of the writing and the way the authors lay out the history of the great discovery including what led Columbus to his decision to sail west into an unknown sea. His dealings with Spain's royalty and his later misfortunes are put in context with the times he lived in. A real pleasure to read.
