SynopsisA compelling portrait of the brilliant warrior queen who united Spain, loved Ferdinand of Aragon, sponsored Columbus's famous journey and started the Spanish Inquisition., "An artful, sensitive biography... A prerequisite for understanding Isabella is understanding the period and Rubin excels at delineating both." --"Booklist" "Rubin succeeds admirably in recounting the story of Spain's greatest queen and the impact of her reign on her country and the world... a first rate exposition." --"Kirkus" "An excellent, well-developed picture of the complex, often contradictory forces of the European scene from which Columbus sailed." --"Washington Times" "Classic... will make permanent literary history by dispelling many schoolroom myths." --"Tulsa World", Looks at Queen Isabella's life and marriage in a time of fierce political intrigue, the rise of the nation-state, the discovery of the new world and the demise of the old order.
