I already have the 5 books, all read a long time ago, and I was planing on re-read them, but first, reading this "new" book, I really don't know if I should get it since I'm not a big fan of the targs

>I would love to become more familiar with Spanish history. Can you recommend any good English language popular histories? I stress "popular." I am not looking for academic tomes about changing patterns of land use, but anecdotal history rich in details of battles, betrayals, love affairs, murders, and similar juicy stuff.
