Spain is one of the great nations of Europe, and the 'Rough Guide History' provides an essential overview of its often 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.
Featuring a continuous time-line, sidebars on the Spanish Inquisition, Cervantes, Goya, General Franco and a host of other topics, plus dozens of illustrations and quotations, the 'Rough Guide History' is a vital companion for travellers and students alike.
