Conquerors: How Portugal Forged the First Global Empire by Roger Crowley

4.0

Very interesting history book about an era I knew relatively little about.

Some of the story is presented with a level of detail that seems unlikely to have been recorded and thus is presumably fabricated or exaggerated to make a more interesting narrative. Still, it’s a perfect book for casual readers or people looking for a general introduction. There were parts where I could have benefited from a bit more context.
