No current Talk conversations about this book. 1/28/23 This book stayed on my shelf for quite some time because I thought it was a bit of a stuffy history tome and heavy going. Once I got past the first couple of pages I could not put it down. A wonderful insight into religious nonsense of 1588 and how it ruined the lives of so many Europeans. . . . For nothing. Much as it still does today when children are indoctrinated into a “faith” * before they are old enough to think for themselves. One of the saddest things the book relates is that the sailors who fought so bravely and worked so hard and survived, returned to their respective countries and starved to death. * Faith: OED: Belief without evidence. no reviews | add a review
