Matt Thome’s Reviews > Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe > Status Update

The story of the first circumnavigation of our planet includes adventure, mutiny, detailed descriptions of European encounters with indigenous cultures of South America, Polynesia, and cultures of the Philippines. While the tale is written primarily from the European perspective since that is where the sources come from, the author adeptly describes what may have been occurring from the perspectives as Well.
