Javier Tusell was Professor of Contemporary History at the National University of Distance Learning (UNED). Best known as a historian of contemporary Spain, he published more than 50 books on the subject in his lifetime. During an early foray into politics, he negotiated the return to Spain of Picasso's anti-war masterpiece, Guernica, and was elected UCD councillor for Madrid in 1979. Latterly he became a respected media commentator on Spanish history and especially the Franco dictatorship. Translator Rosemary Clark, college lecturer at Downing College, is an affiliated lecturer in Spanish at the University of Cambridge specializing in Modern Peninsular Spanish literature, history, and culture. Particular interests are post-colonialism, Spain and Africa, religious issues, and regionalism.
"The breadth of his knowledge - reflected both in the details of
the narrative, including apt quote and anecdotes, and in his
comparative references to other national case studies - makes this
book a rich resource for contemporary historians of Spain." (The
Historian, 2011)
"This book will doubtless become a point of departure for
anglophone readers wanting to understand the essential strands of
continuity in Spanish history since the civil war." (Late
Modern, 2010)
"Javier Tusell, Spain's leading historian of twentieth-century
issues, has given us a brilliant account of that country's
contemporary history. By far the best single volume to read."
Stanley Payne, University of
Wisconsin-Madison
"An important new study. With Spain more polarised in the wake
of the bombings of 11 March 2004 than at any time since the Civil
War, it will be required reading for all those interested in the
history and politics of the Iberian Peninsula."
Charles Esdaile, University of Liverpool
