Reviews

[Peter J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. Though Columbus clearly had an avaricious streak later in life, it intensely frustrates me how many ignorant people echo the condemnation about him that they heard somewhere, without knowing how false it is. Columbus was clearly a decent fellow overall.
