Synopsis
"The Story of Spain" is a story of kings and poets, saints and conquistadors, emperors and revolutionaries. It is the story of Torquemada, Cervantes, Picasso, Franco, Saint Theresa, and of the Alhambra and the Escorial. Drawing on years of rigorous research, and written with the flair of a master storyteller, this superb new edition draws together the myriad fragments of Spanish history - from its prehistory right up to the 2008 elections - to re-create the drama, excitement, and pathos that is the story of one of Europe's most fascinating countries.

From the Author
"I first went to Spain as a graduate student and could not find a decent one-volume history of the country. So I decided to write it and eventually did so after many years of study. I think my book covers all the main events and themes in a readable fashion for anyone interested in the subject. Later, they can explore their favorite people and places through other books on specific subjects. I also think the listings of historic places to visit are very useful for certain travelers who really like to know a country well."
