This book is essential reading for whoever wants to understand Spain today and its protagonists, both individual and collective. In the best British tradition, recent politics here becomes history.' - "TLS"
Paul Preston's study of Spain's year of transition following the death of Franco is extremely useful to understand the triumph of democracy in a country with little previous experience in liberty. A highly recommendable book for anybody interested in comtemporary Spanish history or for political scientists interested in transitions from authoritarian rule to democratic rule.
