Story
The Spanish military coup of 1936 was launched to overturn the social and economic reforms of the democratic Second Republic, and its educational and cultural challenges to the established order. The consequent civil war was fought in the interests of the landowners, industrialists, bankers, clerics and army officers whose privileges were threatened. However, a central justification for a war that took the lives of around 500,000 Spaniards was that it was being fought to combat an alleged scheme for world domination by a non-existent ‘Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy’.

Story
From the foremost historian of 20th-century Spain, A People Betrayed is the story of the devastating betrayal of Spain by its political class, its military and its Church. This comprehensive history of modern Spain chronicles the fomenting of violent social division throughout the country by institutionalised corruption and startling political incompetence. Most spectacularly during the Primo de Rivera and Franco dictatorships, grotesque and shameless corruption went hand-in-hand with inept policies that prolonged Spain’s economic backwardness well into the 1950s.

Story
Ten years have passed since Nicky Reilly took a homemade bomb into an Exeter restaurant and attempted to kill the people eating and drinking inside.Reilly was a Muslim convert who had travelled from Plymouth by bus earlier that day with the intention of bringing death and destruction to the busy shopping area.The extraordinary events were even more shocking because until it happened nobody really imagined that such an event could take place in the relatively quiet cathedral city in the south west of England.Over the succeeding days, weeks and months a major counter terrorism investigation was ...

Story
Whereas so many 20th-century Spanish histories begin with Franco and the devastating Civil War, Paul Preston's magisterial work begins in the late 19th century with Spain's collapse as a global power, especially reflected in its humiliating defeat in 1898 at the hands of the United States and its loss of colonial territory.

Story
Paul Preston emprende en esta obra el reto más atractivo para cualquier historiador: condensar su objeto de investigación en un manejable libro, reflejo de tantos años de experiencia. Con una concisión abrumadora, estas páginas exponen la historia del siglo XX en España, con el tema subyacente del desajuste entre una población deseosa de progresar y unas elites que no cesan de bloquear sus intentos.
