Book Reviews of Nathaniel's Nutmeg: Or the True and Incredible Adventures of the Spice Trader Who Changed the Course of History

Book Review: -A Riveting Narrative-
Summary: 4 Stars

NATHANIEL'S NUTMEG is a fascinating book filled with the history of the amazing sea adventurers who searched for routes to the Spice Islands. The courage of those men who sailed the uncharted seas will keep anyone enchanted who desires to read about true bravery. Years of conflict took place between the Dutch who controlled the East India Company and the British who constantly challenged them for the lucrative spice trade.

This is thrilling history and filled with information that is quite prevalent to our lives today. In fact, learn how the British acquired Manhattan from the Dutch. A feat that changed the fate of America.

Worth reading!
