Perfect for readers of "Endurance" "Shackleton's"" Incredible Voyage," "Galileo's Daughter," " "and "Atlantic," " "this first-ever complete account of da Gama's voyages includes new information from the recently discovered diaries of his sailors and an extraordinary series of letters between da Gama and the Zamorin, a king of modern-day Kerala, India.
