Marxism and the Failure of Organised Socialism in Spain, 1879-1936
This is the first full-length study in English of the role of Marxist theory in the Spanish Socialist movement prior to the outbreak of Civil War in 1936. In particular, the author stresses the intellectual poverty of this aspect of leftwing politics in Spain. In concentrating on the Partido Socialista Obrero Espafiol (PSOE), the major organised party of the left prior to the Civil War, the study seeks to achieve two main aims: first, to attempt to isolate the political, social and intellectual factors which led to a particularly distorted version of Marxism which became established in Spain at the end of the nineteenth century; and second, to demonstrate how this particular conception of Marxism had a crucial negative impact on the political formulations and fortunes of the PSOE between 1879 and 1936. The central argument of the book is that the significance of Spanish Marxism lay precisely in its poverty, since it was this 'decaffeinated' version of the theory which set the parameters within which the PSOE formulated its strategy for socialism.
Inquisition
This impressive volume is actually three histories in one: of the legal procedures, personnel, and institutions that shaped the inquisitorial tribunals from Rome to early modern Europe; of the myth of The Inquisition, from its origins with the anti-Hispanists and religious reformers of the sixteenth century to its embodiment in literary and artistic masterpieces of the nineteenth century; and of how the myth itself became the foundation for a "history" of the inquisitions.
The Spanish Labyrinth
The Spanish Labyrinth, first published in 1943, has become the classic account of the background to the Spanish Civil War.

La España del siglo XX (3 volúmenes)
Una profunda crisis del Estado que hunde sus raíces en el siglo XIX. una Segunda República que se enfrenta a grandes dificultades para poder construir una alternativa de gobierno viable. la Guerra Civil como fracaso y consecuencia lógica –y trágica– de todo el proceso. Tal es el panorama que ofrece el penetrante análisis de Tuñón de Lara en la España del siglo XX, un libro, que desde el momento mismo de su aparición, se convirtió en un clásico de la historiografía española.
