Summary
This brilliantly concise history of the Pacific Ocean nevertheless succeeds in examining both the indigenous presence on ocean’s islands and Western control or influence over its islands and shores. There is a particular focus on the period from the 1530s to 1890 with its greater Western coastal and oceanic presence in the Pacific, beginning with the Spanish takeover of the coasts of modern Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and continuing with the Spaniards in the Philippines.
