 Rating:  - biaswalsh is too bias as he is a catholic and puts forward his own opinion rather than fact and does not use very good language in the sense of literature he is also clearly anti jewish and involves his personal religion too much and rubbishes anything non catholic and does not even state clearly why and does not give it a fair trial Rating:  - Wow, where to beginPeople accept this as history? It is argued that Walsh looks at the facts and presents an unbiased view of history? Are we reading the same book? I tend to agree with the reviewer who felt that Walsh was anti-Semitic.

Walsh relates how Isabella completes the 700 year struggle for the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula from Moslem domination with all the drama and style of the greatest of novelists. ... Read More Rating: - The finest History I Have Ever Read...As a life-long student of History with a BA in Medieval History from UCLA, I was absolutely floored by the triumph of historiographical method this book represents. The "reviewer" (who didn't have the integrity to name himself) certainly has no understanding of the role of the historian - to document, NOT to judge. All the great modern medievalists have striven with the utmost of care to cast off the biases of the historians of the past (mostly English Protestants writing about a Catholic Europe) ... Read More
