Malyn Newitt is Chales Boxer Professor of History at King's College London. His many publications include The First Portuguese Colonial Empire, A History of Mozambique and East Africa.
"Malyn Newitt’s aim simply has been ‘to give a coherent account of
a very complex topic for a new generation of students of European
overseas expansion’ and ‘to restore a chronological perspective to
the story of the empire.’ To do this in less than three hundred
pages is no means a task, but the end product lives up to the
promise. Anyone familiar with the history of the Portuguese empire
should have it on the shelve." --Itinerario
