A People Betrayed

A History of Corruption, Political Incompetence and Social Division in Modern Spain 1874–2018

Paul Preston

For 150 years Spain has been blighted by political violence and economic failure. This history examines the role of its political, military and religious elites in this catalogue of disaster, including the 1898 war with the United States that ended its colonial empire, the civil war and Franco’s dictatorship. It warns that despite the transition to democracy in 1975 corruption and the tension between centralism and regional aspirations remain a threat.
