A Dark Chapter in European History – Sir Paul Preston’s Definitive Account
Sir Paul Preston, one of the world’s foremost historians of Spain and the leading biographer of Francisco Franco, draws on over 50 years of research into the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist dictatorship. In this book, he examines one of the most suppressed subjects of the 20th century: the systematic elimination of political opponents under Franco’s regime.
Drawing on archival documents, eyewitness accounts, and precise statistical data, Preston reveals the scale of state terror that underpinned the dictatorship. The book has earned high praise from historians and journalists. The Guardian’s Giles Tremlett called it “the first full and honest attempt to comprehend this horror,” noting the appropriateness of the term “holocaust” to describe the violence’s extent. During Franco’s rule, approximately one million people were imprisoned for political reasons, and thousands were executed. This study stands as a documentary testament to a grim page in European history.
