Authored by CR Boxer (1904-2000), one of the most notable British historians of Iberian expansion, and Frazão de Vasconcelos (1889-1970), a Portuguese researcher of naval history, the Discoveries and genealogy, this rigorous and well-documented biography of André Furtado de Mendonça (1558-1610 or 1611) reconstructs the career of one of the most notable Portuguese captains in India, commander in campaigns in Jaffna, Ternate, Malacca and the Moluccas, and governor of Portuguese India in 1609. The work refutes several erroneous assertions by previous historians who did not consult primary documentation, restoring both the military and human qualities of the subject. Illustrated in the text and in extra-text with reproductions of Portuguese fortresses and with a facsimile reproduction of a pamphlet published in Lisbon in 1610.
