Christianity and Islam in Spain

Fascinating and factual! Haines presents a comprehensive study covering a variety of historical topics. He brings to life the invasion of Spain by the barbarians, the rule of the Goths followed by Abdurrahman’s landing! The revolt of the Spaniards against the Arabs and Abdurrahman III saving Khalifate are next discussed. The rise of the Arab factions and the beginning of a merger of religions follows. Haines shows how Christianity and Islamic influences gradually began to change the character of Spain. Never has history been so real! Great read!
