Alonso de Contreras left home as a child, became a sailor, a soldier, then a Knight of Malta. This book, in which he recounts his journeys at sea, his battles, his dashed hopes, his ordeals, and his duels, is an astounding document about navigation, war, and relations with the Muslim world at the start of the seventeenth century.
