Moorish Spain by Richard Fletcher

4.0

Fletcher provides a brief, comprehensive, and easy to understand history of Islamic Spain. He makes a compelling argument against the traditional understanding of Moorish Spain as a time of great tranquility and tolerance. Overall, a good introduction to the topic. My only complaint is that I wish he would have included more citations to indicate where he draws his information from (though Fletcher does state at the outset that this work isn't meant to be an academic study).
