Focusing on major events and figures, it explores the complex tapestry of these two nations from their ancient roots to more modern times. At the start of this volume, the author discusses the importance of independence and liberty in the context of Spain and Portugal's histories, establishing a foundation for understanding the socio-political dynamics at play. Williams examines the geographical advantages of the Spanish peninsula, detailing its diverse inhabitants and early tribal societies, including the Iberians and Celts.
