Blue Division
This book, translated from the original Spanish, is the primary academic and historical study of the Blue Division -- a Falangist initiative involving the dispatch of some forty-thousand Spanish combatants (over a half of whom paid with their lives, health, or liberty) to the Russian Front during the Second World War. Xavier Moreno Julia does not limit himself to relating their deeds under arms, but also analyses -- for the first time -- the political background in detail: the complex relations between the Spanish government and Hitler's Germany; the internal conflicts between the Falangists and the Army; the rise and fall of Franco's brother-in-law, Minister Ramon Serrano Suner, who inspire...

La División Azul
Éste es el primer estudio histórico serio y documentado sobre la iniciativa falangista que implicó el envío a los frentes de Rusia de unos 45.000 combatientes españoles, la mitad de los cuales pagó esta aventura con la vida, la salud o la libertad. Por primera vez se analizan las complejas relaciones entre España y Alemania y las pugnas internas en nuestro país.

The Spanish Frustration
Old troubles with remote origins persist in modern Spain, including huge public debts, extensive corruption, widespread unlawfulness, oligarchical politics, territorial splits, and permanent protests and riots. When did Spain screw up? The Spanish Frustration provides an interpretation of several important aspects of present-day Spain and its past stories. It argues that, in the long term, Spain missed the opportunity to become a consolidated modern nation-state because it was entangled in imperial adventures for several centuries when it should have been building a solid domestic basis for further endeavors. In short: a ruinous empire made a weak state, which built an incomplete nation, which sustains a minority democracy.
Franco's Internationalists
Despite the repression, violence, and social hardship which characterised Spanish life in the 1940s and 1950s, the Franco regime sought to win popular support by promoting its apparent commitment to social justice. This study tells the story of the experts in public health, medicine, and social insurance sent to sell Franco's regime overseas.
Hitler y Franco. Diplomacia en tiempos de guerra
Hitler y Franco: diplomacia en tiempos de guerra es la recreación histórica de la guerra que desgarró España y las consecuencias inmediatas que tuvo para la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El tono, ágil y directo, se centra en la narración de las campañas bélicas y las reacciones diplomáticas que éstas produjeron, más que interpretar una vez más las razones que llevaron a sendos conflictos. Los testimonios de Galeazzo Ciano (yerno de Mussolini), Goebbels o el propio Hitler son aportaciones tremendamente valiosas para comprender la complejidad de un conflicto internacional en el que predominó el cinismo de los estadistas y la eficacia de protocolos y pactos secretos.

Joining Hitler's Crusade
The reasons behind Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union are well known, but what about those of the other Axis and non-Axis powers that joined Operation Barbarossa? Six other European armies fought with the Wehrmacht in 1941 and six more countries sent volunteers, as well as there being countless collaborators in the east of various nationalities who were willing to work with the Germans in 1941. The political, social and military context behind why so many nations and groups of volunteers opted to join Hitler's war in the east reflects the many diverse, and largely unknown, roads that led to Operation Barbarossa. With each chapter dealing with a new country and every author being a subject matter expert on that nation, proficient in the local language and historiography, this fascinating new study offers unparalleled insight into non-German participation on the Eastern Front in 1941.
