Very readable history. One thing that I liked was describing how events in Europe affected LA history and vice-versa. Very well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Damaged
Reviewed in Canada on 2 August 2021

Not an issue with the content of the book, but rather the physical condition of the book. The page corners were bent, and there was a beverage/mystery liquid stain on some of the pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A phenomenal read!
Reviewed in the United States on 1 August 2019

I used this as a textbook for a Spanish history class, and wow. This book was so enjoyable to read! It didn't feel like assigned reading most of the time. Chasteen did an amazing job of writing the text in a way that is informative, eloquent, and inserts his opinions in a way that doesn't cloud the facts. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to learn about Spanish influence throughout history.
