A Fresh outlook on a historical event we take for granted.

There are connections to the Templars, the Vatican, the Genoese merchants and Marco Polo that the author makes that take the Columbus story from 2-D to 3-D. A must for anyone researching the man and the events leading to the European colonization of America.
