About this listen

COLUMBUS: The Man Who Didn’t Discover America is a clear-eyed biography of one of history’s most mythologized figures. Drawing from primary sources, letters, and eyewitness accounts, this book traces the life and legacy of Christopher Columbus. From his early years in Genoa to his final voyage across the Atlantic. Rather than retelling the story through rose-colored legend, the book offers a grounded account of who Columbus actually was, what he believed, and what happened when he made landfall in the Caribbean. It explores the political forces that backed him, the systems he built, and the consequences of his arrival. Both for the people he met and the empires that followed. Told with sharp focus and historical clarity, this is a biography that goes beyond the textbook and into the record.
