The Spanish Empire was one of the greatest political creations in Europe. Conceived at the beginning of the 16th century, it lasted for three hundred years in continental America and almost seventy more in the Caribbean and the Philippines. Hugh Thomas, with his characteristic style, offers a complete study of the genesis of this empire, showing the exploits of the first two generations of explorers, colonizers, governors and missionaries who paved the way for the American empire of Spain. From the fall of Granada to Magellan's voyage, passing through the discovery of Columbus and the coronation of Charles V, Hugh Thomas embarks on the epic narration of one of humanity's greatest adventures.
Hugh Swynnerton Thomas, Baron Thomas of Swynnerton, was an English historian and writer known best for his book The Spanish Civil War.
