Title: move on to another choice
Product review: The one and only review within this book claims that Williams' work is the "best introduction to Spain's history". I would stipulate that this is not the case. It is indeed difficult to transcribe a nation's history from the Romans to the present. However it has been done by other authors in a much more succinct manner than Williams. The author's writing is labored and the book does not deal with any of Spain's history in nearly enough detail. The books publishers (Spanish) also make me question William's easy treatment of the inquisition and conquest of the Americas. This book in my opinion will not make one interested in finding out more about Spanish history. Stay with a more established author, such as Carr and preferably choose a book from each major period of a nations history. Three thousand years cannot be done justice in 250 pages.
