Makes a good easy read

Not the most detailed book on Islamic Spain but a decent read all the same. Covers all the major points in the history of Islamic Spain from the initial Muslim conquest to the final fall of Grananda with some insight into the art, science and culture of Andalusia. Decent book, easy to read (you could probably get through it in a day) I would say worth the money (this was initially published by EUP) but looking at how much it is going for now, maybe not.
