520    When Constantinople fell to the Ottomans in 1453, the long
       -established trade routes to the East became treacherous 
       and expensive. Enterprising young men took to the sea in 
       search of new lands, new routes, new markets, and of 
       course the possibility of glory and vast fortunes. 
       Historian Boyle reveals that the race was, in fact, as 
       much about commerce and trade as it was about discovery 
       and conquest. Contrary to popular belief, Cabot, Columbus,
       and Vespucci not only knew of each other, they were well 
       acquainted. As each attempted to curry favor with various 
       monarchs across Europe, they used news of the others' 
       successes and failures to further their claims and to 
       garner support from investors. The intrigue, espionage, 
       and treachery that abounded in the courts of Europe 
       provide a compelling backdrop for the intersection of 
       dreams and business ventures that led the way to our 
       modern world.--From publisher description.
