The Last Voyage Of Columbus by Martin Dugard
A gripping narrative of Columbus’s fourth and final expedition, recounting his desperate search for a western route to Asia along the coasts of Central America, his battles with violent storms, shipwrecks, mutinous crews and hostile encounters, and his year-long stranding in Jamaica before an inglorious return to Spain. Drawing on archival sources and vivid storytelling, the account illuminates the explorer’s stubborn ambition, human frailty, political downfall, and the costly consequences of early European exploration for indigenous peoples.
