War in the Iberian Peninsula is a panoramic synthesis of the Iberian Peninsula. It book provides a comprehensive overview of all of the Christian kingdoms and Islam in the Iberian Peninsula and provides students with a better understanding of the military interconnections across medieval and early modern Iberia.
'Never has the complicated medieval military history of the Iberian Peninsula been told so well. Nor could it have been accomplished without the talents of so many skilled Iberian military historians as those brought together in this book.?This is now the seminal work for anyone seeking to study or research the Iberian military history of the Middle Ages, or to understand the Spanish and Portuguese conquests of the sixteenth century.'
Kelly Devries, Loyola University Maryland, USA
'This volume, well thought out in its structure and executed by its authors, is also a testimony of hybridisations and influences in the military field between Christians and Muslims, which is an added value to the individual studies that comprise it. It is a work that also reveals continuities and transformations throughout the different periods up to the beginning of the 16th century, when the medieval legacy, in warfare methods, was still evident (?) an excellent synthesis developed with clarity and efficiency, which also opens up to an international public not always familiar with historiography written in Portuguese or Spanish (?) the difficult work carried out by its editors to articulate the chapters of the book; and evidences of the fruitful path that research can still pursue in many possible directions, regarding the study of the war in the Iberian Peninsula'
