By 1481 Granada was the last Islamic enclave in Catholic Spain. Granada's last ruler, Muhammad XII 'Boadbil', faced the might of a Spanish royal army revitalised and lavishly equipped with modern artillery. Despite this mismatch of strength it took 11 years of hard campaigning before the Spanish troops could bring their guns to bear on the walls of Granada. David Nicolle investigates the 11-year campaign, examining the commanders, forces, plans and fighting in this superbly illustrated account of 'Los Reyes Catolicos' greatest victory.
