A hierro y fuego

We Spaniards are the people that have done the most in the history of humanity, even shaping the world we inhabit. But also the people most ashamed of their triumphs, their achievements, their victories and their discoveries. The authors dismantle the most controversial elements of the Black Legend, both the traditional one - the Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews, the conquest of America, the scientific and cultural backwardness, slavery - and the one renewed by the work of the nazionalisms.
