Spain
Jewish Political Intrigue

Four Jews rose to high places in Spanish political history: Chisdai ibn Shaprut and Shmuel Ha Nagid in Moslem Spain and Don Isaac Abarbanel and Abraham Senor under the Christian rule of Ferdinand and Isabella. Rabbi Wein follows the careers and accomplishments of each, their attempts to use their influence to benefit and protect the Jewish people, and their personal struggles with the tests of wealth and power.
