Title: Astounding story, wonderfully written
Product review: All the stuff your 11th Grade History class overlooked!A thoroughly readable book, (I've been through it three times now), full of pathos, intrigue and death-defying moments. Magellan hadn't even LEFT the harbor on his audacious attempt to sail around South America to Asia before the King of Spain and all Magellan's backers had already abandoned him as a traitor. Unbelievable!An incredible story, beautifully written, that involves the reader with important flashes into life (and death) during the early 1500's.Get this one.
