These two volumes (as well as Volume 3, which is also available on Kindle) are outstanding reading for anyone who wants to understand Philip II and his times. It covers Philip from boyhood through his early involvement in the Netherlands. Volume 3 covers the Mediterranean, through the Battle of Lepanto. Apparently the author died before finishing the next volume, which would have included the Great Armada and the denouement in the Netherlands.The author has meticulously researched this work, and goes into a level of detail that might put off some readers. If you want to want to understand the man and his times, however, this is invaluable. He approaches Philip from a slightly different perspective than other books I have read, covering more of the administrative end of his rule.
Personally, I found it to be an absorbing and facinating read. You cannot find fiction with so many twists and plots. I regret that there is not a volume 4 so that I can continue my enjoyment.
