Peter speaks with Matthew Resatll about his newest book, The Nine Lives of Christopher Columbus. Restall takes us beyond polemic, sifting through the evidence across nations, languages, and five centuries to explore the many questions that make up what he calls "Columbiana." He demonstrates that, far from a uniquely talented individual, Columbus was typical of the Iberian and northern Italian men of his day - a merchant mariner who became an explorer, slave-trader, and conquistador-settler. And Restall challenges the notion, deeply held to this day, that Columbus can be credited or blamed for all that happened after 1492.
