Description
Twentieth-Century Spain: A History provides a comprehensive overview of Spanish social and political history from the early 20th century to the present day. Written by two leading historians, Julián Casanova and Carlos Gil Andrés, this book sets the country's experience within a broader European context. The authors explore key themes such as democracy, dictatorship, civil war, and industrialisation, examining why these events had such a profound impact on Spanish society. They address questions that continue to be debated by historians today, including the reasons behind the Republic's defeat and the lasting legacy of Franco's regime. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding Spain's complex and often turbulent 20th century.
