Regarded as the world's foremost authority on Columbus, Manuel Rosa's own "voyage of discovery" began when his doubts were stirred by the marriage of a lowly foreigner to a highborn Portuguese lady.

Such a union might pass muster as a fairy tale today, but it would have been unthinkable back then. The closer Rosa looked, the more certain he became that he was on to something, and before long he was spending all of his free time on research.

Rosa has spent three decades investigating America's legendary "discoverer." He has authored six books on Columbus and has appeared on BBC, NPR, the Travel Channel's "Expedition Unknown," and numerous foreign-language media.

Columbus-The Untold Story was awarded Huffington Post's 'Best History Book' in 2016 and won the 2017 Independent Press Award for World History.
