In this fundamental work, Ricardo García Cárcel analyzes the myths surrounding the Spanish War of Independence, questioning traditional interpretations of national consciousness, the role of figures such as Agustina de Aragón, and the influence of the 'afrancesados'. The author dismantles reductionist views and proposes a more complex and rigorous look at this crucial period of Spanish history. Through deep analysis, the book examines everything from the epic of May 2, 1808, to the legacy of the Cortes of Cádiz, revealing the historical legitimacies that have sustained national myths. It is an essential read for those seeking to understand the true dimension of this conflict and its impact on the formation of modern Spanish identity.
