Synopsis

The Rough Guide History of Spain provides an essential overview of one of the great nations of Europe. The guide maps Spain's turbulent development from its early incarnation as one of Rome's most important colonies, through the Islamic conquest and the creation of the New World empire, to the aftermath of the 20th century Civil War. A continuous time-line helps the reader access particular periods and there are many sidebars on such figures and topics as the Spanish Inquisition, Cervantes, Goya and General Franco. There are also dozens of illuminating illustrations and quotations, making this guide a vital reference companion for students and travellers alike.
