307. Columbus: A New World?

Having convinced the Catholic Monarchs to fund his journey across the Atlantic, Columbus sets sail with three ships, a crew with dubious loyalties, and a mission to find China or Japan by heading west. 
A voyage spanning the Canary Islands, Cuba and Hispaniola, he will encounter and enslave indigenous peoples, mislead and fall out with his crew, then eventually be arrested in Portugal on his return to Europe. If freed by the Portuguese, how will he be received by the Catholic Monarchs?

[@halcyon8280]

This series is utterly compelling listening. Which books on Columbus would you recommend?

[@416dl]

Do read Carol Delany's "Columbus and the Quest for a New Jerusalem "which goes into great detail on Columbus's motives and the zeitgeist of the times which was greatly concerned about christendom and the threat posed by Islam which had only recently been expelled from Spain and which was assaulting Byzantium and cut off europe from trade with the far east....
