Covering the centuries of the Umayyad emirate and caliphate of Cordova, Haines describes how Goths and Saracens took Spain, then turns to the voluntary martyrdoms at Cordova in the ninth century and the controversy they caused, the Arabised Christians known as Mozarabs, converts to Islam, heresies, and Spain under Abdurrahman III. He closes by weighing what each faith took from the other.
