The Spanish Holocaust: Inquisition and Extermination in Twentieth-Century Spain
Paul Preston
(Author)
Description
Evoking such classics as Anne Applebaum's Gulag and Robert Conquest's The Great Terror, The Spanish Holocaust sheds light on one of the darkest and most unexamined eras of modern European history. As Spain finally reclaims its historical memory, a full picture can now be drawn of the atrocities of Franco's Spain--from torture and judicial murders to the abuse of women and children. Paul Preston provides an unforgettable account of the systematic terror carried out by Spain's fascist government.

Reviews
Magisterial account... it is bound to be an essential reference for anything written on the subject for years to come.--Adam Hochschild
Fascinating... Unflinchingly, Preston sifts through the pillage, torture, and mass executions of this bleak chapter in Spanish history.
What Preston knows about the years of civil war, 1936-1939, is astounding... Preston's work is a powerful intervention in a Spanish discussion. It's significance transcends the events it brings to light, and suggests some basic re-evaluations of recent European history.--Thomas Snyder
