Illustreret i s/h. The first, authoritative history of Spains darkest period. In a work of meticulous scholarship and research, Paul Preston, the worlds foremost historian of 20th-century Spain, charts how and why Franco and his supporters set out to eliminate all those who do not think as we do - some 200,000 innocent men, women and children across Spain. The remains of General Franco lie in an immense mausoleum near Madrid, built with the blood and sweat of 20,000 slave labourers. His enemies, however, met less exalted fates. In addition to those killed on the battlefield, tens of thousands of Spaniards were officially executed between 1936 and 1945, and as many again became non-persons, their fates as obscure as the nations collective memory of this terrible period.
