I was not aware of an inquisition in Mexico. Growing up in the U.S. our history lessons were obviously limited! The Jewish people have historically been persecuted and misunderstood. This wonderful accounting of factual historical information, intertwined with a tender romantic scenario is well worth reading! I couldn't put it down!

"Soldier of God" is not only a page turner but a font of information on the history of Mexico in 16th and 17th centuries. The mores of the Catholic and Jewish religions are portrayed in a manner that does not interfere with the exciting story line. Intolerance runs rampant. Torture and death are routine for those who do not pay homage to the religion of the King of Spain. Character and faith are put to the ultimate test.
