España: a Brief History of Spain

Nice summary of Spanish history. Perhaps covers the modern component of Spanish history (20th century-present) a little bit too quickly.

I often find with books on Spanish history that they tend to brush over the Spanish Civil War very quickly, and this history is no exception. It is understandable that Spaniards wish to forget this incredibly traumatic period in their history, however, it is disappointing when history books take the same attitude.
