With a significant resonance to the prejudice Muslims recently faced with the controversial words of Christian Pastor Terry Jones, Blood and Faith chronicles the expulsion of Muslims from Spain in the early 17th century. Set against a vivid historical backdrop, celebrated journalist Matthew Carr's riveting chronicle unveils what was the largest act of ethnic cleansing in European history at the time. A a remarkable window onto a little-known period in modern Europe - a complex tale of competing faiths and beliefs, cultural oppression and resistance.
