Dogs of God: Columbus, the Inquisition, and the Defeat of the Moors

This volume chronicles one of the most savage epochs in human history, the years of the Spanish Inquisition. Reston's engrossing narrative brings all of the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition into a terrifyingly brutal focus, and he looks beyond the dark deeds of 1492 as well, capturing the excitement of exploration and the promise of the future that were born in the same year.
