This book examines the shortcomings of the Spanish political class, the corruption and incompetence that have hindered the country's progress. Preston intertwines the influence of the Army and the Church, the popular rejection of the ruling classes, social conflict, economic backwardness and territorial tensions in an international context. A deep analysis of Spanish history that underlines the importance of knowing the past so as not to repeat it.
