Reviews

Brilliant. Enlightening. The surprise here is not that a vaunted academic like Delaney has written such a deeply researched take on the Columbus legacy, but that she does so with page-turning style, effortlessly transporting the modern reader into the minds and motivations of 15th-century Europe
*Martin Dugard, author of The Last Voyage of Columbus*

A new and provocative interpretation of Columbus. Carol Delaney uses her training as a cultural anthropologist to brilliantly explicate Columbus's strange, apocalyptic world. By being more sensitive to the differentness of the past than most historians, she has written a remarkable work of history, and one that is utterly accessible
*Gordon S. Wood, author of The Idea of America: Reflections on the Birth of the United States*

A welcome reappraisal of Columbus and his legacy
*Kirkus Reviews*
