a Spanish writer called Arturo Perez Reverte that describe how life was
Yes,I am shamed about the minimal books ,on Spanish History, written today. When I searched about the Napoleonic Wars, the 60% of books was written before the '60!!! And nothing about the 30 years war, the seven years war, etc... Only Perez Reverte bet strongly, and he won; it is an area not covered by no one. He reminds us in every press article he writes, how English people can read about Dr. Maturin, Sharpe, Horatio Hornblower, etc...
I read in a Belgian library the only and one Spanish History about Flanders. There was a cronology about military, cultural, artistical and engineering events from 1514 to 1714 (the Habsburg period): I was amazed about names I did not know: Fuentes (la Fontaine: a former shepherd), Moncada
resisted with 8000 soldiers to 250000 french, the french tide), Parma
the first VIP in Spa and built an incredible giant canal), Jan Jacobsen
a corsair who captured more than 200 ships), Jacques LaGoverneur
the first multinational firm between Spain, Belgium and Austria), Spinola
or how to manage no-paid small troops against wealthy great army), Julian Romero
an operating cavalry), and no-named captains who kept reducts with 275 soldiers against 5000 infantary, and Rubens
a spy in the Royal Courts), and Alba
dukdalf was the wood where ships were attached in Antwerpen), and more things about how to keep the Lowlands during 200 years in war (the typical answer-->Spanish troops only were owners of the terrain they were, it was not true)
