Free Isabel Of Spain: The Catholic Queen Ebooks To Download
One of the most powerful and compelling figures of all history, Isabel of Spain was a force with which to be reckoned, and should rightfully eclipse the better-known Elizabeth of England, both as a woman and a national leader. The first full scholarly biography of Queen Isabel in English for nearly seventy-five years, Isabel of Spain is extensively annotated and eminently readable.

I want to counter the reviewer of this book who was so angered by it. I found this book to be in agreement with other historians who look at Isabel in the light of her times without modern prejudices and preconceptions. She was an exceptionally great historical figure; this book tells you why. It will help you to understand Isabel's world and how she took a corrupt and chaotic state and ushered it into a golden age.Another great biography of Isabel is William Thomas Walsh's "The Last Crusader, Isabella of Spain" published in 1930. I recommend reading both biographies.
Dr. Carroll has again done a magnificent job of making history interesting. His portrayal of Isabel is gripping, his scholarly foundation is excellent, and his style is highly readable. I especially appreciated his comments on the Spanish Inqisition - a viewpoint you won't hear from most historians! Isabel is one of the most admirable women figures in the history of the world, and an excellent model for all women concerned with true feminism. Her humanity, intelligence, compassion, wisdom and courage are inspiring. Thank you, Dr. Carroll, for your service to the truth in bringing her so vividly to life.
This is the most thoroughly researched biography of Queen Isabel found in English. Written by an American historian, it's surprisingly readable.
Every book that I have ever read written by Dr. Warren Carroll makes history come alive - much more exciting than any fiction. His books are well-researched using much primary source material of the times. His writing is lively and exciting - spellbinding at times. For a true portrait of Queen Isabel and her times, this is the finest choice.
An absorbing book that chronicles the life of one of the most important and influential woman of the past 1,000 years. A fearless and emotionally strong young woman, who in an age where women were mere backdrops to powerful men, Isabel fought her way to unite the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon into the political and military powerhouse that became Spain in the late 1400's and early 1500's.While this book is an interesting read for historians and academics, it is an inspiring read for young women who desire and dream to make their mark in today's competitive world.
