Isabella of Spain by William Walsh

A breathtaking and monumental study of Spain’s greatest queen, Isabella, and her direct role in three history-turning events: the expulsion of the last Muslim invaders from Western Europe, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus—events which all took place in the space of just one year, 1492.

Written by one of America’s foremost professors of English, Isabella of Spain traces in exacting detail the life of the queen from her parents through to her death, drawing upon her own writings and contemporary records.
