is an American history book written from the Spanish perspective. The author, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Newark, NJ, David Arias, is a Church historian, born and educated in Leon, Spain. His history of the Spanish roots of America will astound not only Hispanics, but all races that have contributed to all that is good in America. This magnificent chronological itinerary through the history of the USA from 1492 to the present should be read in American history class and in every Catholic American home. Without it, you are missing a very large part of the true picture of our nations history. This is a great book for Catholic home schoolers and high school students.
