In "Poder y gloria. Los héroes de la España imperial", Henry Kamen presents a fascinating account of some of the most prominent military commanders in Spanish history, including Hernán Cortés, El Gran Capitán, Carlos V, The Duke of Alba, Juan de Austria, Alejandro Farnesio, Ambrosio de Spínola, and The Duke of Berwick. Through their personal experiences, Kamen explores their successes and failures in the context of contemporary events in Europe and America. An additional attraction of the book is that many of these characters tell their story in the first person, thanks to the availability of their correspondence.
