A great survey of Spanish history which I sorely needed since I had been forgetting what I learned in school. Unfortunately, since it is so short, a lot of events, people, etc. are left out. The Franco regime, though, was treated with a "it-wasn't-so-bad" attitude that I found deeply troubling.

Does what it says on the tin. But the apologetics for fascism were disturbing and left me feeling unclean.
