Kamen/THE SPANISH INQUISITION.

If you have a lot of spare reading time, Netanyahu/THE ORIGINS OF THE INQUISITION IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY SPAIN.

Characters of the Inquisition by William Thomas Walsh was a good quick read on the inquisition in general. It mentions Spain but isn't exclusively focused on it.

Peters/INQUISITION is another good overview.

I love Walsh's book on Fatima, didn't realize he'd written other books...I'll have to check that one out, wonder if it's on Kindle? I'll go check that.

No one expects a good book on the Spanish Inquisition!

Just sit down in a comfy chair and read it.

I was wondering how many posts it was going to take before we got a "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

That biography of Phillip II is awesome but very detailed. Walsh pretty much tells you how many times a day His Majesty went to the bathroom.

I just discovered I have another book written by Walsh...Isabella of Spain. I've read it but I forgot who the author was!

I'd like to read about Phillip II but I don't need to know that much detail <G>

Today is the solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. I just got another book by William Thomas Walsh. It's titled Peter the Apostle.

I think it would be appropriate for him to comment on the Spanish Inquisition: "No one sees Catholics today burning unbelievers, even in Ireland and Portugal..." So he was trying to write more accurate historical records such as his book Characters of the Inquisition.

The Myth of the Spanish Inquisition by the British Broadcasting Commission can be found on YouTube. For an anti-Catholic organisation (which is funded with taxpayers' money) this doco is very even handed.
