Description

Between Two Fires: A Forgotten War in the Spanish Sierras In the 1940s, a small village in the Spanish mountains became a battleground, caught between the ruthless Civil Guard and guerrillas led by a legendary chieftain. This book tells the story of the dramatic events that unfolded, as villagers, guerrilleros, and Civil Guards recount their experiences of bloodshed, betrayal, and courage. Historian Paul Preston describes the book as "exciting as any thriller, yet deeply moving". This account of a forgotten war offers a poignant and powerful portrayal of a pivotal moment in Spanish history.
