Straits: Beyond the Myth of Magellan
by Felipe Fernández-Armesto
Straits: Beyond the Myth of Magellan is historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto’s takedown of the Portuguese explorer whose disastrous expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe.
“Magellan had undertaken to tell the other captains the planned route, but subsequently refused to do so.”
