Overview
El lado oscuro y menos conocido de la Guerra Civil, a través de diversos testimonios de los horrores y excesos cometidos por ambos bandos en la retaguardia.
Este libro no dejará indiferente a nadie. A partir de más de doscientos testimonios y vivencias estremecedoras de los dos bandos, Los horrores de la Guerra Civil propone una lectura de la historia que atiende a aquellos que normalmente no tienen lugar en los libros. Sus protagonistas son personas con nombres y apellidos que no murieron en el frente, sino vilmente asesinadas en las retaguardias nacional y republicana.
Los horrores de la trágica Guerra Civil, reunidos por primera vez en una impresionante obra, en la que el lector hallará también un completo diccionario de la represión, así como la biografía de los principales políticos y militares de aquel terrible enfrentamiento, y una extensa bibliografía y una rigurosa cronología de los acontecimientos más destacados.
Un trabajo exhaustivo y ecuánime, en suma, que, dejando a un lado los intereses partidistas y las disputas de los historiadores por dirimir cuál de los dos bandos asesinó más, se ocupa de los auténticos protagonistas: las víctimas.
«Una obra original y de gran envergadura, recomendable por su objetividad y ausencia de espíritu partidista.» —Stanley G. Payne
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The dark and lesser-known side of the Spanish Civil War, through various testimonies of the horrors and excesses committed by both sides behind the front lines.
This book will leave no one indifferent. Drawing on more than two hundred testimonies and harrowing accounts from both sides, The Horrors of the Spanish Civil War offers a reading of history that gives voice to those who are usually left out of the books. Its protagonists are people with names who did not die at the front, but were viciously murdered in the Nationalist and Republican rear areas.
The many horrors of the tragic Spanish Civil War, brought together for the first time in an impressive work, in which the reader will also find a comprehensive dictionary of repression, as well as biographies of the leading political and military figures of that terrible conflict, an extensive bibliography, and a rigorous chronology of the most significant events.
In short, an exhaustive and impartial work that, setting aside partisan interests and historians’ disputes over which of the two sides committed more murders, focuses on the true protagonists: the victims.
“An original and wide-ranging work, recommended for its objectivity and lack of partisanship.” —Stanley G. Payne
