Conquerors by Roger Crowley is a historical non-fiction work detailing the Portuguese maritime expansion down the coast of Africa and into the Indian Ocean. Joe Rogan discussed the book on multiple episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, specifically on The Joe Rogan Experience #1954 and #1821 with Bert Kreischer and Tony Hinchcliffe in 2024. During these conversations, Rogan initially struggled to recall the exact title and author while talking about the historical voyages of Portuguese explorers and their interactions with local populations and trade routes. He eventually remembered the title, The Conquerors, and the author, Roger Crowley. Rogan brought up the work to highlight the intense historical accounts contained within its pages, mentioning specific harsh realities and violent interactions between the explorers and rulers along the African coast. The discussions reflected his engagement with the audiobook format and the striking, sometimes brutal historical anecdotes detailed by Crowley regarding the period of exploration and trade dominance.
