The Spanish Empire was the first truly global empire and the first to be described as one on which “the sun never sets.” It rapidly grew to become one of the largest and most powerful empires in the history of the world and brought us goods such as potatoes, chocolate, and chewing gum.
Yet in the Middle Ages, Spain as we now know it did not exist. Most of the north of the Iberian Peninsula was ruled by two powerful Christian kingdoms, Castile and Aragon, while the southern part was al-Andalus, an Islamic kingdom that had originated in North Africa.
By the end of the fifteenth century, al-Andalus had been defeated, the peninsula was united under Christianity, and Spain had become one of the most powerful countries in Europe.
Then, Spanish explorers discovered the Americas. Unimaginable wealth flowed from the New World to Spain, increasing its power even further.
Over vast tracts of territory in the Americas and lands in Asia, Spanish became the dominant language and Catholic Christianity the dominant religion, all as a direct result of Spanish imperialism.
Barely three hundred years later, the Spanish Empire collapsed. Almost all its colonial possessions gained independence or were acquired by other countries. How could this happen? How did Spain come to dominate the world and then abruptly lose its power? This is the astonishing story of the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire.
Amazon books Here is a masterpiece of historical narrative that stretches from the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, as it tells the story of Europe, East and West.
Norman Davies captures it all—the rise and fall of Rome, the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla, the Norman Conquests, the Papal struggles for power,
the Renaissance and the Reformation, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Europe’s rise to become the powerhouse of the world, and its eclipse in our own century, following two devastating World Wars.
This is the first major history of Europe to give equal weight to both East and West, and it shines light on fascinating minority communities, from heretics and lepers to Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims.
It also takes an innovative approach, combining traditional narrative with unique features that help bring history alive: 299 time capsules scattered through the narrative capture telling aspects of an era, and twelve snapshots offer a panoramic look at all of Europe at a particular moment in history.

‘Sidney Fazan was Britain’s most important colonial officer serving in Britain’s most important African colony.
His voice is to be heard in every key discussion in Kenya’s history from before the First World War until the Mau Mau rebellion.
This edition of his personal writings, selected and superbly edited and annotated by John Lonsdale, will be an indispensible asset for any student of Kenya’s colonial moment.
This is a wonderful and immensely useful volume.’ David M. Anderson, Professor of African History, University of Warwick ‘For students of British Colonialism and especially development to independence this is an invaluable record.
We are fortunate that the editors have revealed the importance of S.H. Fazan’s work. I was fortunate to meet him, long after retirement, working on his colonial records in happy seclusion in Muguga near his home.
Increasingly Fazan pointed to the rising population of Africans and the grievances which led to the Mau Mau insurrection. Renewed calls for change came from the United Nations and newly independent countries like Ghana exerted pressure.
The United Kingdom decided to accelerate the programme with independence in East African countries, in Tanganyika in 1961, Uganda in 1962 and Kenya in 1963. Fazan’s work had helped prepare the ground successfully for African rule.’ – Sir John Johnson, former High Commissioner to Kenya .
S.H. Fazan was a Provincial Commissioner in Kenya. A classical scholar of Christ Church, Oxford, in 1911 he sailed to British East Africa (Kenya) where he worked continuously for the next thirty-one years in agricultural development in Africa, being latterly also an ex-officio member of the Legislative Council.
He returned to Kenya between 1949 and 1963, and his most notable appointments during these years were as Defence Secretary, member of the Mau Mau Detainees Appeals Tribunal and the Committee for the Study of the Psychological Causes of Mau Mau.
John Lonsdale is a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and University Reader in African History, University of Cambridge.
This charming and spirited story of the extraordinary European nation begins
with the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Swiss people amongst the challenging landscape of the rugged Alps, and follows their tale through the development of feudalism,
The struggle for control by warlords, the Thirty Years War, and into the aftermath of the French Revolution.
First published in 1832, this is a tale of dramatic splendor performed by captivating
personalities-here is a work of classic history that will delete Europhiles and students of the past alike.
He is also the author of Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life (1822), The Trials of Margaret Lyndsay (1823), and The Foresters (1825), among other works.

“Can dynamite be reassuringly explosive? This book certainly is. Terry Smith has had plenty to say about the stock market in the last ten years and, like his funds,
He’s been bang on the money all the way through.” ―Jonathan Davis Editor, The Investment Trusts Handbook
“What sets him apart is not just his formidable winning streak, but the principles on which he has chosen to take a stand …
Terry has always put his money where his (considerable) mouth is.” ―Lionel Barber, Editor, Financial Times (2005–2020)
“His essays are readable, easy to digest and refreshingly light on techno-babble.
They will help you understand why some companies have durability while others, ostensibly doing well, suddenly disintegrate.” ―Jeff Randall, Presenter, Sky News (2007–2014)
“I could dispute something on around half of Smith’s pages – we’ve been bickering about fees for at least a decade.
But I hugely admire his concentrated conviction-led, growth-focused approach, and, oh yes, his fund has done wonders for my self-invested personal pension.
So I’m still reading every page.” ―Merryn Somerset Webb, MoneyWeek (‘Five books to put on your Christmas list’)
“One of the finest books that I have ever read on long-term value investing in high-quality businesses.
