La personnalité de Philippe II (né en 1527 et mort, il y a tout juste quatre siècles en 1598) ne laisse pas indifférent; il n'a, à vrai dire, pas bonne presse et la légende noire forgée de son vivant par ses adversaires français, anglais et hollandais lui colle à la peau. Le présent ouvrage n'entend pas réhabiliter sa mémoire en offrant une nouvelle biographie, mais plutôt montrer comment quarante ans de gouvernement ont durablement engagé le destin de l'Espagne et de ses possessions. C'est sous l'égide de Philippe II qu'ont pris forme les grandes orientations politiques, économiques et idéologiques qui ont eu des effets profonds dans la péninsule et en Amérique.
La définition qu'on donne souvent de l'Espagne de ce temps - un empire au service de la Contre-Réforme - est à l'évidence trompeuse et réductrice. Ce qui la caractérise en effet ce n'est pas la défense acharnée du catholicisme, mais une volonté obstinée de puissance, l'obsession chez le roi de garder sa réputation d'homme le plus puissant de la chrétienté; s'il a été intolérant, Philippe II ne l'a pas été davantage que les autres monarques de son temps. En revanche, pour protéger ce qui à ses yeux constituait un ensemble de droits patrimoniaux inaliénables - aux Pays-Bas, au Portugal et même en France -, il a compromis voire sacrifié les intérêts bien compris de l'Espagne.
Mettant en oeuvre une ample documentation et surtout faisant la synthèse de nombreuses recherches inédites en France, Joseph Pérez revient sur les idées recues et propose une appréciation radicalement nouvelle du règne de Philippe II. Joseph Pérez est professeur honoraire de civilisation de l'Espagne et de l'Amérique latine à l'université de Bordeaux-III. Fondateur et premier directeur de la Maison des pays ibériques à Bordeaux, ancien directeur de la Casa de Velasquez de Madrid, il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur l'histoire et la culture espagnoles, en particulier d'Isabelle et Ferdinand, Rois Catholiques d'Espagne (Fayard, 1988) et de l'Histoire de l'Espagne (Fayard, 1996).
