I was casually flipping through the latest Sunday NYT on Thanksgiving Day, when I came across this (previously seen only online). So, I am grateful for all those who helped make the book possible—and all of you readers. Thank you!

The first copies of my new book just arrived. Always an exciting moment. It’s available now on Amazon etc.

Of course, everyone has the right to claim Columbus — be it his birth or his bones — and in doing so, claimants can contribute to constructive debates about history.

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… The claim that Columbus was secretly Jewish and from one region or another of the Iberian peninsula goes back to the 19th century. Yet the historical evidence that he was Genoese remains overwhelming. Repeated DNA “revelations” have not changed that.

The Boston Tea Party was 250 years ago today. Americans might expect that we in Britain would have forgotten the slight, but they'd be wrong; nothing is more serious to us than tea. Revenge will be ours, in this life or the next, and it will be served with milk and two sugars...

Aztecs did NOT think Cortes was a prophesied return of Quetzalcoatl, or that the Spaniards were gods. Also, Cortes did NOT have a romantic relationship with his native teenage girl translator known as Malinche.
