Böcker av David J. Weber

This compact synthesis of David J. Weber’s prize-winning history of colonial Spanish North America vividly tells the story of Spain’s three-hundred-year tenure on the continent. From the first Spanish-Indian contact through Spain’s gradual retreat, Weber offers a balanced assessment of the impact of each civilization upon the other. Praise for the previous edition:"e;I cannot imagine a single book giving a more comprehensive and balanced study of Spain's presence in North America."e;—Louis Kleber, History Today "e;For readers seeking to understand the larger meaning of the Spanish heritage in North America, Weber's vivid narrative is a must. This is social and cultural history at its best."e;—Howard R. Lamar, Yale University "e;A superb study."e;—Choice "e;[A] deeply researched and splendidly conceived and written survey."e;—Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., New York Times Book Review
