Gunpowder and Incense
Now available in English for the first time, Gunpowder and Incense (translated from the Spanish La Pólvora y el Incienso) chronicles the role of the Church in Spanish politics, looking in particular at the Spanish Civil War.

Les racines de la démocratie espagnole contemporaine sont donc à rechercher dans les pages de ces revues -Cuadernos para el Diálogo et Triunfo, mais aussi Andalán, Asturias Semanal, Presència et Serra d'Or- qui, ne pouvant à l'évidence affronter le pouvoir sur le terrain politiqu...
