Simon R. Doubleday
1 Lara Family an intriguing read
I've always had an interest in European history, and so it was only natural that I would give this book a read, especially since I had Dr. Doubleday as a Professor at the time. I must say that I thought it was well-crafted and well-presented, with special attention paid to how the Laras came into prominence and what they did to stay there. They truly were a much more dominant force in medieval Spanish politics than I think even most history buffs realize. I highly recommend this book, but the one thing that prevented it from getting the fifth star is the [money amount] price tag. Come out with a paperback and see how it sells.
