reconciliation is a major contribution to the study of both the
Transition and memory." . Modern History Using a rich variety of
sources such as official newsreels, school textbooks, the work of
contemporary historians, memoirs, official documents, legislation,
and monuments, this book explores how the historical memory of the
Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) influenced the transition to
democracy in Spain after Franco's death in 1975. The author traces
the development of official discourse on the War throughout the
Franco period and describes the regime's attempts to achieve
political legitimacy. Although there was no universal consensus
regarding the events of the Civil War, general agreement did exist
concerning the main lesson which should be drawn from it: never
again should Spaniards become embroiled in a fratricidal conflict.
Paloma Aguilar is Professor of Political Science at the Universidad
Nacional de Educacion a Distancia (Madrid, Spain) and Doctor Member
of the Juan March Institute (Madrid, Spain)."
