Description
The Spanish Holocaust: A Comprehensive Account of Mass Murder and Persecution in Twentieth-century Spain. Paul Preston's meticulous work of scholarship sheds light on one of the darkest periods in modern European history. Between 1936 and 1945, an estimated 200,000 Spaniards were brutally murdered in mass extra-judicial killings, with many more suffering torture, imprisonment, and abuse. This book provides a detailed examination of the horrors visited upon Spain during its civil war, revealing the names of those responsible for these atrocities. Preston's research spans over a decade, and his work offers a comprehensive picture of this lesser-known era in history. The Spanish Holocaust is a sobering reminder of the devastating consequences of conflict and the importance of acknowledging the truth about past events.
