In Geopolitics of the Visigothic Kingdom in Iberia, historian Ryan Evans takes readers on a fascinating journey through one of the most pivotal, yet often overlooked, chapters in Spanish history. This compelling work uncovers the Visigothic Kingdom's rise to power, its strategic challenges, and the profound influence its geographical positioning had on the fate of the Iberian Peninsula. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing medieval world, the book explores the Visigoths' struggle to consolidate their fragmented kingdom while navigating external pressures from the Byzantine Empire, the Franks, and later, the Muslim conquest. Through a combination of military strategy, religious reform, and regional alliances, the Visigoths attempted to forge a unified state—but internal divisions and geographical limitations ultimately led to their downfall. Richly detailed with historical insights, primary sources, and a deep analysis of the Visigothic landscape, this book offers readers a fresh perspective on the political landscape of early medieval Spain. Readers will discover how geography, military strategy, and the Visigothic monarchy's relationship with the Church shaped the kingdom's rise and fall. From the fertile plains of the Guadalquivir to the defensive fortresses of the Pyrenees, Evans demonstrates how the geography of the Iberian Peninsula dictated the Visigoths' every move, laying the foundation for the medieval kingdoms that would follow. This book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the history of Spain, the fall of empires, and the complex interplay between geography and politics. Engaging, informative, and expertly crafted, Geopolitics of the Visigothic Kingdom in Iberia brings the Visigoths to life and reveals the untold story of their impact on the future of Europe. Perfect for history enthusiasts and those interested in medieval geopolitics, this book offers a gripping account of one of the most influential yet fleeting kingdoms in European history.
