This book explains how and why the Basque separatist armed group
ETA decided to end its armed campaign against the Spanish state.
The ETA's armed campaign for Basque independence lasted fifty years
and led to more than 800 casualties. This book analyzes the factors
that led to ETA ending its campaign of violence in 2011, despite
having yet to achieve its political objectives. It explains how the
Basque pro-independence movement's political leadership won an
internal battle and brought ETA to a position in which abandoning
violence was the only feasible choice. The work argues that the key
factor leading to the cessation of violence was the loss of support
for armed struggle within the pro-independence social base, and it
examines why and how that support decreased so decisively. Written
by a former journalist, the narrative is based on more than 30
interviews, including former members of ETA, Spanish judges, former
ministers of the Spanish government, political leaders of all
Basque political parties-from the Nationalist Left to the Partido
Popular (PP)-and international mediators. As such, it is the first
book to recount in detail the inside story of the internal struggle
within the Nationalist Left movement, and particularly between the
political party Batasuna and ETA. This book will be of much
interest to students of political violence, ethnic conflict,
nationalism, Spanish politics, security studies, and IR.
