AlbakiReads Editorial

Columbus framed through the Crusading project

George Grant presents Christopher Columbus’s voyages in the context of his reported aim to finance a new Crusade to reclaim the Holy Land. Trade with the Indies and the prospect of titles and privileges also figure in this account, alongside the religious commitment the description identifies as central to Columbus’s ventures. The book therefore approaches the familiar subject through the relationship between exploration, ambition, and late-medieval Christian crusading ideals. Its framing offers a distinct historical lens on Columbus, while the publisher description signals a revisionist interpretation of his motives.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Columbus and the history of European exploration.
  • Readers exploring the Crusades and the religious context of early voyages.
  • Readers comparing interpretations of Columbus’s motivations.

Book overview

You have been lied to about Christopher Columbus.

You know the year he sailed the ocean blue. An maybe you heard that he committed crimes against humanity. But The Last Crusader sets the record straight.

More than anything, Christopher Columbus sought the means to subsidize a new Crusade to free the Holy Land from the Moslem hordes. Yes Columbus hoped to open trade routes to the Indies, and he certainly aspired to the privileges and titles that come with discovering new lands. But Christian zeal for the Great Commission was the animating principle for a life of danger and risk and discovery.

This is the untold story of Christopher Columbus, the last Crusader.
