About the book

Diego Hurtado de Mendoza's account of the War of Granada describes the Morisco revolt in the kingdom of Granada from 1568 to 1571. Combining classical historical style with first-hand knowledge of Spanish politics, Mendoza examines the causes of rebellion, military campaigns and the brutal conflict between the Morisco population and the forces of Philip II. The work is a major contemporary source for early modern Spain and the aftermath of the Reconquista.
