Description

The author challenges the view that Spanish colonial rule in the Americas ws always brutal and tyrannical. He champions the old empire of Spain on the grounds that, essentially, it was "solid and sound". He marshals all of his vast erudition in weighing the social, economic, intellectual, religious and military factors relevant to his thesis.
