Lost in Transition
This book examines how the political period in Spain following Franco's death, known as the Transición, is being remembered by a group of writers, filmmakers and TV producers born in the sixties and early seventies. Reading against the dominant historical account that celebrates Spain's successful democratisation, this study reveals how recent television, film and fiction recreate this past from a generational perspective, linking the experience of the Transición to the country's present political and financial crises. Privileging above all an emotional connection, these artists use personal feelings about the past to analyse and revisit the history of their coming-of-age years. Lost in Tr...

Mientras la patria exista
La situación, como ustedes verán, es crítica. Ha llegado el momento de sacrificarse por la patria. Que cada uno ocupe su puesto y cumpla con su deber». (TENIENTE CORONEL FERNANDO PRIMO DE RIVERA, JEFE DEL ALCÁNTARA). La gesta del regimiento de caballería Alcántara en la guerra del Rif, durante los trágicos días de Annual (verano de 1921), constituye un capítulo imborrable de la historia militar. Fieles a su lema: «Disipa como el sol las nubes a su paso», los jinetes del Alcántara cargaron repetidas veces contra las posiciones enemigas, sabiendo que les esperaba una muerte segura. Con su sangre aceptaron el sacrificio de sus vidas y dieron el mayor ejemplo de amor a España. A campo descubierto, para proteger a las tropas españolas perseguidas por el enemigo, los escuadrones del Alcántara llevaron a cabo una hazaña que tardaría más de noventa años en ser reconocida oficialmente, cuando al regimiento le fue otorgada la Cruz Laureada Colectiva de San Fernando.
'Paracuellos'
This book examines the most polemical atrocity of the Spanish Civil War: the massacre of 2,500 political prisoners by Republican security forces in the villages of Paracuellos and Torrejâon de Ardoz near Madrid in November/December 1936. The atrocity took place while Santiago Carrillo -- later Communist Party leader in the 1970s -- was responsible for public order. Although Carrillo played a key role in the transition to democracy after Franco's death in 1975, he passed away at the age of 97 in 2012 still denying any involvement in 'Paracuellos' (the generic term for the massacres). The issue of Carrillo's responsibility has been the focus of much historical research. Julius Ruiz places Par...
