Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Scarce. Jacket has minor wear, binding sound, internally clean. McIntyre's story of these early Portuguese voyages, and his detailed understanding of the development of deep sea navigation and of the policies that drove the Maritime Powers of Spain and Portugal to compete to rule the world on either side of the Pope's meridian make his book compelling reading in itself. But the Secret Discovery of Australia is also a fascinating suspense story the tale of the author's own unravelling of a great historical mystery, the unearthing of secrets that have been dept for hundreds of years. He engroses his reader, as he sets right a great injustice for the records. N° de réf. du vendeur 260809032
