«El hombre que detuvo a García Lorca» is the historical essay by Ian Gibson, published by Aguilar in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Ian Gibson, Lorca's biographer, reconstructs the career of Ramón Ruiz Alonso, the CEDA deputy who arrested the poet in Granada in 1936. With new documentation, he analyses how this typographer from Salamanca became a reactionary agitator and examines his possible responsibility in the denunciation that led to García Lorca's death.
Published by Aguilar in 2007, the volume includes bibliographic references (pages 193-212) and an index.
For readers interested in the history of Spain, the Civil War and the figure of Federico García Lorca.
