Beschreibung

This comprehensive survey of Spain's history looks at the major political, social, and economic changes that took place from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the twenty-first century. * A thorough introduction to post-Civil War Spain, from its development under Franco and subsequent transition to democracy up to the present day * Tusell was a celebrated public figure and historian. During his lifetime he negotiated the return to Spain of Picasso's Guernica, was elected UCD councillor for Madrid, and became a respected media commentator before his untimely death in 2005 * Includes a biography and political assessment of Francisco Franco * Covers a number of pertinent topics, including fascism, isolationism, political opposition, economic development, decolonization, terrorism, foreign policy, and democracy * Provides a context for understanding the continuing tensions between democracy and terrorism, including the effects of the 2004 Madrid Bombings

Rezensionen

(The Historian, 2011)
"The breadth of his knowledge - reflected both in the details of the narrative, including apt quote and anecdotes, and in his comparative references to other national case studies - makes this book a rich resource for contemporary historians of Spain."
(Late Modern, 2010)
"This book will doubtless become a point of departure for anglophone readers wanting to understand the essential strands of continuity in Spanish history since the civil war."

"Javier Tusell, Spain's leading historian of twentieth-century issues, has given us a brilliant account of that country's contemporary history. By far the best single volume to read."

Stanley Payne, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"An important new study. With Spain more polarised in the wake of the bombings of 11 March 2004 than at any time since the Civil War, it will be required reading for all those interested in the history and politics of the Iberian Peninsula."

Charles Esdaile, University of Liverpool
