THE IBERIAN PENINSULA was conquered by Islamic forces in 711 AD and the Islamic presence continued in this part of Europe for 900 years. This new book tells the intriguing story of al-Andalus: its splendour, tolerance and conflicts. Richly illustrated with outstanding photographs, it shows the achievements of this extraordinary time. Written in an accessible fom1, this book sets out the fascinating events from the conquest up to the final expulsion of the people of al-Andalus from Spain, a tale which has resonance with events happening today. It is a book which is essential for those interested in history, for those who want to know this absorbing story and for those who wish to travel in Spain and experience the remarkable legacy of al-Andalus.
