«El día en que murió Guernica» is the historical essay by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (310 pages, in Spanish).
The bombing of Guernica, immortalised by Picasso's painting, is one of the most symbolic episodes of war. This essay reconstructs the attack by the Condor Legion on the Basque city and, drawing on interviews with survivors and those responsible, explores the horrors of war and the need for peace.
Spanish-language edition of 1986, translation by José María Martínez Monasterio; work originally published under the title 'Guernica: The Crucible of World War II'.
Recommended for readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, the history of the Basque Country and first-hand accounts of armed conflicts.
