"McDonogh's very informative work includes substantive material on Portugal as well as Spain, with even a bow toward Andorra...Based largely on an impressive array of secondary materials as enriched by the author's personal experiences, this book is appropriate for informed general readers and scholars - Recommended." -- Choice, August 2009
