Beschreibung
Traders arrived with cargo and cannons. The islands offered both welcome and resistance.
Spices financed empires before empires knew their own names. This book follows the merchants, ship captains, and local rulers who turned nutmeg, clove, and pepper into the first truly global commodities. It traces how European trading companies—armed, private, and ruthless—imposed monopoly systems on islands that had traded freely for centuries.
