Nowhere
does the ceaseless struggle to maintain democracy in the face of
political corruption come more alive than in Paul Preston’s magisterial
history of modern Spain.

The culmination of a half-century of historical investigation, A People Betrayed is
not only a definitive history of modern Spain but also a compelling
narrative that becomes a lens for understanding the challenges that
virtually all democracies have faced in the modern world.
Whereas
so many twentieth-century Spanish histories begin with Franco and the
devastating Civil War, Paul Preston’s magisterial work begins in the
late nineteenth century with Spain’s collapse as a global power,
especially reflected in its humiliating defeat in 1898 at the hands of
the United States and its loss of colonial territory.
This loss
hung over Spain in the early years of the twentieth century, its
agrarian economic base standing in stark contrast to the emergence of
England, Germany, and France as industrial powers.
(...)

Filled with
vivid portraits of politicians and army officers, revolutionaries and
reformers, and written in the “absorbing” (Economist) style for which
Preston is so revered, A People Betrayed is the first historical work to
examine the continuities of political unrest and national anxiety in
Spain up until the present, providing a chilling reminder of just how
fragile democracy remains in the twenty-first century.
