Across a single human lifetime, a small Atlantic kingdom forced open the routes of the Indian Ocean spice trade and reshaped world history. The sea changed the world. In "Vasco da Gama and His Successors 1460 to 1580", historian K. G. Jayne traces the daring voyages of Vasco da Gama and the generations who followed him, as the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean built a far-flung commercial empire from East Africa to India and beyond. Blending meticulous research with vivid narrative, this classic maritime history book illuminates how exploration, trade, faith, and warfare intertwined in the great age of discovery studies and 15th 16th century exploration. Written for serious students yet highly readable for general audiences, Jayne's study serves both as an engaging story of oceanic adventure and as a reliable reference book for scholars, for exploration history students, and for readers of naval history. Careful attention to political context, commercial networks, and cross-cultural encounter makes this a wide-ranging account of the Portuguese empire in India and the wider patterns of European expansion. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this landmark in exploration history nonfiction is restored for today's and future generations, more than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure for any age of exploration books collection.
