“A masterful biography of Don Gaspar de Guzmán, Count Duke of Olivares—righthand advisor to Spain's Philip IV, archrival of Cardinal Richelieu, and a central figure in seventeenth-century Europe. Written by the eminent historian JH Elliott and based on many original sources, this elegant book is a landmark in the study of a man and an age.”
