Spaniards are reputed to be amongst Europe's most forthright
people. So why have they kept silent about the terrors of their
Civil War and the rule of General Franco? This apparent 'pact of
forgetting' inspired writer Giles Tremlett to embark on a journey
around Spain and its history. He found the ghosts of Spain
everywhere, almost always arguing. Who caused the Civil War? Why do
Basque terrorists kill? Why do Catalans hate Madrid? Did the
Islamist bombers who killed 190 people in 2004 dream of a return to
Spain's Moorish past? Tremlett's curiosity led him down some
strange and colourful byroads, and brought him unexpected insights
into the Spanish character.
