Told for the first time in English, Paul Preston's new book tells
the story of a preventable tragedy that cost many thousands of
lives and ruined tens of thousands more at the end of the Spanish
Civil War. This is the story of an avoidable humanitarian tragedy
that cost many thousands of lives and ruined tens of thousands
more. On 5 March 1939, the eternally malcontent Colonel Segismundo
Casado launched a military coup against the government of Juan
Negrin. To fulfil his ambition to go down in history as the man who
ended the Spanish Civil War, he claimed that Negrin was the puppet
of Moscow and that a coup was imminent to establish a Communist
dictatorship. Instead his action ensured the Republic ended in
catastrophe and shame. Paul Preston, the leading historian of
twentieth-century Spain, tells this shocking story for the first
time in English. It is a harrowing tale of how the flawed decisions
of politicans can lead to tragedy.
