review:
Nicely detailed for an introduction and just what I was looking for, never having systematically read Spanish history (only as they intersect with other histories). Of course there is the usual focus on royalty and nobles, but of course those are the most documented. And I would've enjoyed more detail about the Moorish kingdoms and accomplishments, as well as that of the Jewish people. But this was a helpful foundation for a trip to Spain, to give me a context to fit the historical sites I saw in.
