Editorial: Orion, 2000

New. - The book has not  been read and  is in very condition. Slightly tanned on edges and might have the odd minimal scratch on cover. 

  A highly readable and controversial portrait of a man driven by religion, influenced by mysticism, and, at best, a primitive navigator who barely knew how to use his ship's instruments. A pre-eminent historian calls into question earlier findings by himself and other scholars. With a new introduction and updates that reassess Columbus's skills, motivations, and beliefs--placing him firmly in the context of his own time. "...In a class of his own for serious scholarship."--Spectator.
