«La República que acabó en guerra civil» is the historical essay by Pío Moa, published by Ediciones Áltera in paperback (212 pages, in Spanish).
After the proclamation of the Second Republic, Spanish streets were a celebration; five years later they were scenes of fear and blood. This visual essay asks what happened in that interval to lead to the Civil War, through photographs selected by Pío Moa showing both everyday and festive life as well as insurrectional episodes and the burning of churches.
The subtitle of the work is «La marcha al desastre en imágenes» and it brings together photographs and illustrations in colour and black and white.
For readers interested in the contemporary history of Spain, the Second Republic and the Civil War, and in visual narration through period photographs.
Luis Pío Moa Rodríguez better known as simply Pío Moa, is a Spanish writer and journalist. He has authored historical essays about the origins of the Spanish Civil War, the Second Republic in Spain, Francoism and the various political movements of that era.
