Review: I love history, and this is one of the best written I have read. It is very informative, but reads like a novel. One gets a feel for the personality and motivation of the main protagonists which makes it far more readable than most other history books which tend to be a compilation of facts. I will definitely buy other novels written by this author.
Review: Learn everything you need to know about the earliest explorers from Europe. Written as if you were on the ships that first crossed the world and covers the most important age of Portugal s expansion that changed the world as we know it. Great read before you go to Lisbon because it adds so much historic context to the city's squares, castles and even the famous pastries. I will never look at Pastéis de nata the same again.

*by R***N on 8 June 2019*

This is what I like the most about Roger Crowley's books: he is a historian who unfailingly puts his finger on the most relevant aspects of a story and then proceeds to tell it with grace. He sure knows how to plot a compelling story and keep you hooked from page one until the very end. Reading the blurbs on the back of his books, you get the impression that he is a "popular historian" who wants to entertain his readers above all (planes and airport lobbies seem to figure often in such enthusiastic back-of-the-book reviews), and while this is not far from the truth, one can also make the case that Crowley is a passionate and knowledgeable scholar who refuses to tell a boring story. (His bibliographies, for starters, are quite impressive. And he can read many of the languages that his primary sources are in, such as Spanish and Portuguese.) This, in my view, is how history should be taught and told. --Thank you Roger Crowley for your books and the passion you put into them -- I can't wait to read your book on Venice and her Mediterranean empire. Your book Empires of the Sea was also a great adventure...
