Magellan and the First Circumnavigation of the World

Ian Cameron's book is about the voyage and the man-- Magellan's early adventures, his disgrace at court in Portugal, his constant struggle against ill-luck and lack of recognition and his ultimate triumph--albeit with a sad ending--under the patronage of Spain--all vividly and movingly described.
