Breve historia de la Segunda República española

A review of the most exciting and intense period in the history of Spain. This book allows you to discover how and why, without a single act of violence, a monarch left his throne and gave way to the first Spanish democracy. Luis E. Íñigo Fernández, masterfully combining simplicity and historical rigour, explains with passion, but without prejudice, how a dream that seemed to finally come true immediately turned into a terrifying nightmare, thus frustrating for a long time the hope that the country emerged from its secular backwardness to catch up with the most advanced in the West, and masterfully intertwines the role of the protagonists of all factions and parties with the events and processes that ended up leading to the greatest civil war in history from Spain. And so, as in a kind of monumental drama, in which characters as charismatic as Alfonso XIII and Azaña, Alcalá-Zamora and Prieto, Negrín and Franco, Lerroux and Gil-Robles parade across the stage, everything leads to the expected outcome in the that the great question that floats in the air from the beginning does not remain unanswered: why did the first Spanish democracy fail?
