Publisher's Synopsis

The Moors in Spain is a historical book written by Stanley Lane-Poole. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Moors' occupation of Spain, which lasted for over 700 years. The author delves into the cultural, social, and political impact of the Moors on Spain, including their contributions to architecture, literature, and science. He describes the rise and fall of the Moorish empire, including the conquest of Granada in 1492 by the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. Lane-Poole also explores the conflict between the Moors and the Christians, including the famous Battle of Tours in 732, which halted the Moors' advance into Europe.
