Product Description

Review
A major work on Spanish history ("The Economist")

Product Description
The story of Spain's rise to greatness from its humble beginnings as one of the poorest and most marginal of European countries is a remarkable and dramatic one. With the marriage of Ferdinand & Isabella, the final expulsion of the Moslems and the discovery of America, Spain took on a seemingly unstoppable dynamism that made it into the world's first global power. This amazing success however created many powerful enemies and Elliott's famous book charts the dramatic fall of Habsburg Spain with the same elan as it charts the rise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost forty years on, as majestic as ever, 31 Mar 2002
By A Customer
A still unsurpassed survey of Spain's greatest age of glory and decline. To be read in conjunction with the author's other masterpiece, "The Revolt of the Catalans", recently reprinted. Well worth taking with you on a Spanish beach holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is fantastic, 22 Jan 2004
By D. Simons "collectauctionamazon" (Derbyshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I hated A Level history before I read this.
This book explains all about the history of Spain and how the Moors settled.
Everything became clear after reading this and also this book should be read if studying Elizabeth I as it all interlinks.

2.0 out of 5 stars Extremely uninformative
This book doesn't expand a persons knowledge as well as other books have. It is written very simply and does not express other historians views as well as is liked. Read more
