Description
Jason Webster's personal journey to understanding Spain took an unexpected turn when he discovered a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War on his doorstep. This experience sparked a deeper exploration of the country's complex history, revealing a darker side that many locals still prefer to ignore.
Through vivid storytelling and eyewitness accounts, Webster sheds light on the brutal events of the Civil War and their lasting impact on modern Spain. From witnessing a violent confrontation between rival factions to being sheltered by a transvestite, Webster's encounters with the remnants of war offer a unique perspective on a nation still grappling with its past.
This thought-provoking book invites readers to consider whether the dark forces that drove the country apart in the 1930s continue to simmer beneath the surface of today's Spain. A fascinating and unflinching exploration of one of Europe's most tumultuous periods, ¡Guerra! is a compelling look at the essence of modern Spain.
