About This Book

A carefully-researched and fascinating account of a forgotten English adventurer's 1616-1620 defence of the nutmeg island of Run in the Banda Islands, Indonesia, which led ultimately to the 1667 treaty by which the Dutch gave up Manhattan Island. British-born author Giles Milton specialises in the history of travel and exploration.
