"The best book so far to answer the question 'Who discovered
America?'...This important, spell-binding report replaces
sugar-coated myths about Columbus's invasion of America with
indispensable history." --Publishers Weekly
"A thoughtful and challenging consideration of the many voyagers
who might have reached the Americas by sea before the Nina, the
Pinta, and the Santa Maria...Well informed and well written, always
provocative if not conclusive, this is revisionist history with a
vengeance --and about time, too." --Kirkus Reviews
"Persuasively and emphatically disputes the fact that Columbus
actually discovered America...A long-overdue tribute to a score of
forgotten and disregarded explorers, adventurers, and sailors.
Highly recommended..." --Booklist
