Great deal

We have found it so much more economical to order books on line for college classes. They are easy to find and this book was in excellent condition. A great value.

Interesting and easy to read history

If you are an American, your touchstone of European history is always England. For much of the world, Spain is the "old country". This book made me see Spain in the way I see England. I now have a better feel for the land and its people. A good popular history.
