DUST IN THE GALE:: THE TURBULENT LIFE OF VASCO DA GAMA

To find the answer forgotten by history books, let us revisit Vasco da Gama’s life: his personality, relationships, connections to the king, hatred, and friendships. Let us revisit his famous voyages to the Indies and rediscover a different side of this hero of the Discoveries – his dark side of ambition, revenge, killings, and glories achieved with iron and fire. It is often said that history – of people and peoples alike – is dust in the gale, taking many twists and turns.
