Description

 							
  In Empires of the Sea
and City of Fortune, New York Times bestselling author Roger Crowley established himself as our generation’s
preeminent historian of the great European seafaring empires, and the go-to author for post-Crusade clashes of East and
West. Now, in Conquerors, Crowley gives us the epic story of the emergence of Portugal, a small, poor nation that
enjoyed a century of maritime supremacy thanks to the daring and navigational skill of its explorers—a tactical
advantage no other country could match. Portugal’s discovery of a sea route to India, campaign of imperial
conquest over Muslim rulers, and domination of the spice trade would forever disrupt the Mediterranean and build the
first global economy.
  
  Crowley relies on letters and eyewitness testimony to tell the story of tiny
Portugal’s rapid and breathtaking rise to power. Conquerors reveals the Império Português in all of its
splendor and ferocity, bringing to life the personalities of the enterprising and fanatical house of Aviz. Figures such
as King Manuel “the Fortunate,” João II “the Perfect Prince,” marauding governor Afonso de
Albuquerque, and explorer Vasco da Gama juggled their private ambitions and the public aims of the empire, often
suffering astonishing losses in pursuit of a global fortune. Also central to the story of Portugal’s ascent was
its drive to eradicate Islamic culture and establish a Christian empire in the Indian Ocean. Portuguese explorers pushed
deep into the African continent in search of the mythical Christian king Prester John, and they ruthlessly besieged
Indian port cities in their attempts to monopolize trade. 
  
  The discovery of a route to India around the
horn of Africa was not only a brilliant breakthrough in navigation but heralded a complete upset of the world order. For
the next century, no European empire was more ambitious, no rulers more rapacious than the kings of Portugal. In the
process they created the first long-range maritime empire and set in motion the forces of globalization that now shape
our world. At Crowley’s hand, the complete story of the Portuguese empire and the human cost of its ambition can
finally be told.
