Our Take
An incredibly well narrated history of the Spice Wars -- the quest for a regular trade route to the West Indies. Giles Milton does a fantastic job of perusing innumerable illegible primary sources and pieces together a day-to-day picture of life on the high seas in search of riches. Caught up in the stories, you will have to re-read it to appreciate its historical value and accuracy. Better than any historical fiction, Milton truly brings the era alive. Read More at Amazon.com
