Sceptre, 1999. 1st ed VG pb. how one man changed the course of history: a story of the nutmeg, the spice trade and a heroic English adventure
Sinopsis
The tiny island of Run is an insignificant speck in the middle of the Indonesian archipelago--remote, tranquil, and now largely ignored. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, however, Run's harvest of nutmeg turned it into the most lucrative of the Spice Islands, precipitating a fierce and bloody battle between the all-powerful Dutch East India Company and a small band of ragtag British adventurers led by the intrepid Nathaniel Courthope . The outcome of the fighting was one of the most spectacular deals in history: Britain ceded Run to Holland, but in return was given another small island, Manhattan. A brilliant adventure story of unthinkable hardship and savagery, the navigation of uncharted waters, and the exploitation of new worlds, Nathaniel's Nutmeg is a remarkable chapter in the history of the colonial powers.

I am a private collector (also a fell runner, skier & mountaineer) who, after collecting Mountaineering and Travel books for almost 50 years, now need to start shifting some of the collection due to space constrictions.
