«La destrucción de la democracia en España» is the historical essay by Paul Preston, published by Grijalbo in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish).
The work analyses how the republican reforms unleashed the reaction of conservative forces and how working-class radicalisation and political violence eroded democracy. Paul Preston reconstructs the struggle between parties, unions and the military, and presents the Civil War as the outcome of a process of polarisation and institutional failure.
New revised and expanded edition, published in 2001. Subtitle: «Reforma, reacción y revolución en la Segunda República».
