Summary: "In this completely updated edition of Henry Kamen's classic survey of the Spanish Inquisition, the author incorporates the latest research in multiple languages to offer a new-and thought-provoking-view of this fascinating period.

He concludes with disturbing reflections on the impact of state security organizations in our own time"-- Provided by publisher.
