title: Twentieth-Century Spain: A History
author:  Julin Casanova 
description: "Lively, readable and comprehensive, a welcome addition to the literature in English on twentieth-century Spain." <br />Helen Graham, Royal Holloway, University of London<br /><br />"This is, without doubt, one of the most perceptive and illuminating histories of twentieth-century Spain available. In recent years, historical scholarship in Spain has been transformed and Julin Casanova and Carlos Gil Andrs have been at the forefront of the process. Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, they present an original interpretation of a deeply conflictive national experience." <br />Paul Preston, London School of Economics and Political Science<br /><br />"Of the few integral histories of Spain's twentieth century which have appeared since 2000, none has so skilfully blended political and social approaches. Julin Casanova and Carlos Gil Andrs meet the challenge admirably, incorporating the most recent research in a highly accessible way and producing an account which is at once authoritative and detailed." <br />Michael Richards, University of the West of England<br /><br />'The book is a masterful synthesis of recent research, offering a readable and myth-busting account of Spain's turbulent experience of Europe's 'dark' century.' Carl-Henrik Bjerstrom, Journal of Contemporary History
