Spanish History since the Civil War

This definitive work is indispensable for anyone who wishes to learn about the recent history of Spain. It introduces the reader to a dramatic century: the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War, the dictatorship under Franco, the democratization under Juan Carlos and Felipe Gonzalez, the conservative turn of the country, the social upheavals caused by the economic and financial crisis of 2008, finally the challenge of Catalan separatism. Bernecker’s classic study has been completely revised and updated based on the most recent research.
