Everyone has heard of the crusades of the Middle Ages. But few know of the crusade fought for this same purpose in Spain during the early twentieth century. This is the story of that crusade, now honored in no other book in the English language. Most people who know of the Spanish Civil war do not understand why it was fought or how it was really won. This book will tell you. There is no story like it in the history of the twentieth century.

Nella notte tra il 17 e il 18 luglio 1936, il colpo di Stato delle truppe guidate dal generale Franco segnò l'inizio di una guerra civile che dilaniò la Spagna per i tre anni seguenti: fu una vera e propria prova generale della Seconda guerra mondiale, in cui vennero sperimentate sulla popolazione quelle atrocità che avrebbero caratterizzato il conflitto successivo. Alcuni dei protagonisti furono gli stessi: Hitler e Mussolini inviarono truppe in aiuto di Franco, e Stalin sostenne con armi, uomini e denaro le formazioni comuniste.

Scholars, journalists, and politicians uphold Muslim-ruled medieval Spain - "al-Andalus" - as a multicultural paradise, a place where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in harmony. There is only one problem with this widely accepted account: It is a myth. In this groundbreaking book, Northwestern University scholar Darío Fernández-Morera tells the full story of Islamic Spain. As professors, politicians, and pundits continue to celebrate Islamic Spain for its "multiculturalism" and "diversity", Fernández-Morera sets the record straight.
