The Duke of Alba by Henry Kamen
Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo, the third duke of Alba, is remembered as a fanatical monster who laid waste much of the Netherlands rather than surrender it to Protestant heretics. Kamen attempts a re-evaluation of the duke, assessing this complex figure in the context of his times and personal faith.Henry Kamen, an eminent authority on Spanish history, has published numerous books in the field, including Empire: How Spain Became a World Power, 1492–1763.
