1492: A Novel of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish Inquisition, and a World at the Turning Point by Newton Frohlich is a fascinating read. Its title tells all. It retells the years of the Spanish inquisition under Queen Isabel who truly ruled the roost. Her husband, Kind Fernando of Aragon, was in charge of the military and therefore of going to war with the Muslims that had occupied Spain for over 600 years. Isabel's objective was to unite a Christian Spain which resulted in the massacre of the Muslims and the Inquisition which ordered the imprisonment or death of the Jews. Many Jews converted to Christianity and were called the New Christians. But even they were not spared the evil hand of Isabel.

This was an interesting novel that tells what happens in Spain during the years leading up to When Christopher Columbus sails to the Americas. This is about how Christopher Columbus finally gets the right to try to find his way west to get to the East. How did Isabel live with herself when she okayed the Inquisition. I enjoyed reading this book. i received a copy of this book from Smith publicity for a fair and honest opinion.
