El problema militar en España

Synopsis of El problema militar en España

The book 'The military problem in Spain' by Gabriel Cardona Escanero, published by Alba Libros in 2005, analyzes the history of the Spanish army and its role in society. The author, a university professor and military man, examines how the army has been used more as a political and public order instrument than as a modern defensive force. Despite not having participated in major external conflicts since 1814, the Spanish army intervened in numerous civil wars and pronouncements, failing to become a military force comparable to those of other European countries.
