Synopsis
Crone was the head map curator at the Royal Georgraphical Society for fifty years. His book provides a detailed study of east-west relations during the exploration period. In this book the author first discusses the circumstances in which the small country of Portugal took the lead in this discovery, and the varied motives, religious, political, and economic, which moved Prince Henry, "The Navigator," and sent the explorers Diogo Cao, Bartholomeu Dias and Vasco Da Gama on the long haul to the Indian Ocean and Calicut in search of "Christians and spices."
