Guilford, Connecticut, Globe Pequot Pr, 1996

"The Story of Spain" is a story of kings and poets, saints and conquistadors, emperors and revolutionaries. It is the story of Torquemada, Cervantes, Picasso, Franco, Saint Theresa, and of the Alhambra and the Escorial. Drawing on years of rigorous research, and written with the flair of a master storyteller, this superb new edition draws together the myriad fragments of Spanish history - from its prehistory right up to the 2008 elections - to re-create the drama, excitement, and pathos that is the story of one of Europe's most fascinating countries.
