Manuel Trillo is a journalist and researcher specializing in little-known episodes of Spanish history.
In *The Forgotten Spanish Conquest*, Trillo rescues an 18th-century Spanish expedition that, despite its strategic importance, has been almost erased from historical memory. He recounts how a small group crossed frozen territories of the North American interior to surprise and capture a British fort during the American Revolutionary War. Trillo reconstructs the journey, the political motivations, and the international context that made the operation possible. Using archival documents, he reveals how this feat influenced subsequent border negotiations in North America. The book reclaims a crucial chapter of the Spanish legacy on the continent.
