From the publisher: "The concluding volume of Morison's monumental study of the discovery of America, this is the crowning achievement of America's greatest living historian. . . . He returns to a subject which has fascinating him throughout his career-Christopher Columbus-recaptures as well the adventures of two other great navigators, Ferdinand Magellan and Sir Francis Drake, and follows the explorations of many other fascinating adventurers around the shores of the Caribbean and Latin America and inland, too. The sweep of the narrative, the keen sense of participation Morison imparts to the events, the sparkling prose style, and the wisdom revelatory of a long, full life make this book. . . the capstone of an extraordinary career." .
