Why did we lose the war? analyzes in a clear and detailed way the reasons that led the republican army to the defeat in the Spanish Civil War. Carlos Rojas presents a complete work that includes an anthology with the testimonies of many of the defeated in the Spanish contest. The work consists of six sections with the different interpretations of the causes that motivated the republican catastrophe, in a conflict that Stanley Payne called, and rightly so, 'the greatest tragedy in Spanish history after the War of Independence'. A capital work that collects the voice of those who saw their hopes truncated in years of pain and suffering.
