## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    So so
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020*

Starts off very good. Especially discussing the Moors, which few books talk about for whatever reason 🙄 but then it begins to get very so so. I’m about half way done. Good book for truth seekers on Moorish (Black/African American/Moorish American) history.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Everything you were taught earlier about the Spanish Empire was propaganda.
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021*

This is a great historian who carefully documents his hypotheses.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    A simplistic book full of prejudices
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2010*

This book has been a disappointment to me. I expected a well balanced revisionist work. What I found is an attempt to re-write history for political motivations.The author lives in Barcelona, has adhered to the thesis of Catalonian independentism, and clearly repeats like a parrot a number of unfounded 'Catalanist myths':1) The Spanish Empire was not built by Spaniards.2) However, Spain's rivals don't owe anything but to themselves.As ridiculous as it sounds, the author repeats these two lines once and again, until they become a 600 pages book. The evidence presented is mostly anecdotal.Any smart reader will come with a number of questions after page 2: "But if the Spanish Empire was built by Germans, as the author wants to make us believe, why is German not spoken in America? And why wasn't it called "German Empire" in the first place?". The reader won't find the answer to these questions in this book ... because the questions presented in this book make no sense in the first place.
