the great European seafaring empires, and the go-to author for post-Crusade

maritime supremacy thanks to the daring and navigational skill of its
explorers--a tactical advantage no other country could match. Portugal's
discovery of a sea route to India, campaign of imperial conquest over Muslim
rulers, and domination of the spice trade would forever disrupt the
