📕 2017 Reprint of 1888 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Lane-Poole maintains that the decline and fall of the Moorish Empire was a great setback to modern civilization. Had this great African culture not failed, he argues, the world would have been five hundred years more advanced than it is today. The Moors in Spain is a chronicle of splendor and tragedy, and no one has told the story better than Stanley Lane-Poole. All serious students of history should read this book. It is of special value to students of African history, who should be glad that this historical classic is now back in print.
