At the height of its power, the Spanish Empire was a global enterprise in which non-Spaniards -- Portuguese, Basque, Aztec, Genoese, Chinese, Flemish, West African, Incan, and Neapolitan -- played an essential role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging, persuasive, and unique in its thesis, Henry Kamen's \u003cem\u003eEmpire\u003c\/em\u003e explores Spain's complex impact on world history with admirable clarity and intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43368169603327,"sku":"9780060932640","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780060932640_s600x595.jpg?v=1779894112","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780060932640","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
