The Memoirs of Juan Carlos I of Spain. From People’s King to Fallen Hero
In 2016, Spain’s King Juan Carlos I declared publicly that he would never consider writing memoirs, despite his eventful life, explaining that it would be impossible to tell the truth. This article analyses the mainly financial imperatives that explain the ex-king’s change of mind by 2025. It goes on to discuss the published version, as produced by the King and his collaborator Laurence Debray, and certain inaccuracies and omissions regarding bot…
Still ‘Spain Mad’ after Ninety Years
Gran Bretaña y la Campaña Vasca de 1937
The policy of the British Conservative government towards the SpanishCivil War reflected the general policy of appeasement of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.It was influenced by a belief that the legitimate Spanish Republican Governmentwas the puppet of extreme left Socialists and Communists. Accordingly, theBritish Cabinet adopted a policy of benevolent neutrality towards the military insurgents,with the covert aim of avoiding any direct or indi…

Le cancer colorectal (CCR) a été l’un des premiers cancers à avoir été caractérisé d’un point de vue moléculaire. Initialement répartis en trois groupes moléculaires (instabilité chromosomique, instabilité microsatellitaire et phénotype méthylateur), les CCR font maintenant l’objet d’une classification moléculaire consensuelle transcriptomique qui permet la catégorisation de la plupart des tumeurs en un des quatre sous-types robustes (consensus m…

Guerra Fría e historiadores anglosajones
Based on a study by australian historian Darryl Burrowes are analyzed, the life trajectories and works, of great significance and transcendence, of four important writers: George Orwell, Gerald Brenan, Burnett Bolloten and Herbert Rutledge Southworth about the Spanish Civil War. The historian addresses the extent to which the perceptions of the conflict of the four writers were influenced by the Cold War period and by the greater or lesser influe…
Young adult children of parents with disabilities
There has been little research conducted about outcomes of children who have grown up with a parent with a disability. Much of the research that exists presupposes negative outcomes or is limited by small sample sizes that focus only on a specific parental disability. This eight year study was under

Approaches to Interpreting Mesolithic Mobility and Settlement in Britain and Ireland
The Mesolithic communities of northwest Europe have generally been considered inherently mobile, and all the material evidence associated with them has been interpreted accordingly. This has resulted in entrenched, theoretically polemical and largely hypothetical mobility models, focusing on seasonal rounds and extraction activities. However, recent reanalyses of the ethnographic sources, and discoveries of both substantial and ephemeral Mesolith…
Engaños y errores en el Homenaje a Cataluña
Homenaje a Cataluña, de George Orwell, se incluye habitualmente en la mayor parte de las listas de importantes libros sobre la guerra civil española. Sin embargo, no es sino un vívido testimonio presencial de únicamente dos pequeños fragmentos de la misma. Exhibe una escasa comprensión de la política española o catalana y no presenta un análisis creíble de la más amplia política de la guerra y, en particular, de sus determinantes o condicionantes…
Lights and Shadows in George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia
George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia is included in most lists of important books on the Spanish Civil War, despite being simply a vivid eye-witness account of just two fragments of the war. It demonstrates little understanding of Spanish or Catalan politics and does not present a reliable analysis of the broader politics of the war and particularly of its international determinants. Its underlying notion that the crushing of revolution in Barcelo…
A Professional Historian in Private Practice
After working in the Foreign Office, standing unsuccessfully as a Labour parliamentary candidate and briefly lecturing at Sandhurst, Hugh Thomas tried his hand as a novelist but found his metier when he accepted an invitation to write a history of the Spanish Civil War. For its colourful style and immense scholarship, it was hailed as a classic and opened the way many equally readable works on Cuba, Mexico and the Spanish Empire. After ten years …
Raymond Carr (1919–2015)
One of Britain’s greatest historians, the intellectual and literary heir to Richard Ford and Gerald Brenan, died on 19 April 2015. Sir Raymond Carr, born Albert Raymond Maillard Carr on 11 April 1919 in Bath, was the grandson of a blacksmith and the son of Reginald Carr, a village schoolmaster in Dorset, and of Ethel Graham, who worked in the village post office
The Cambridge History of the Second World War
War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressin…
Great Statesman or Unscrupulous Opportunist? Anglo-Saxon Interpretations of Lluís Companys
Lluís Companys was the President of the Generalitat de Catalunya during the Spanish Civil War. He had led an abortive federalist rebellion in October 1934 and later faced the contradictory problems of a war effort against General Franco's military rebels and the revolutionary, and often murderous, aspirations of anarchists and the anti-Stalinist Communists of the POUM. After the Civil War, he was exiled in France, seized by the Gestapo and execut…

Paul Preston,The Spanish holocaust
A Catalan contribution to the myth of the contubernio Judeo-Masónico-Bolchevique
One of the principal justifications for the military coup of 1936 and the subsequent plan of extermination behind right-wing violence in the Civil War was the accusation that the Second Republic was the anti-Spanish instrument of the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik conspiracy. Thus, when the conspirators declared that punishment had to be inflicted on freemasons, liberal politicians, journalists, school-teachers, professors, as well as on leftists and t…
The Writing's in the Wall
Natural processes are known to cause significant damage to archaeological monuments. In fact, the key to understanding the decay of building materials is the internal movement of water through the mineral matrix, which influences the distribution of chemical, physical and biological deterioration processes. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was traditionally used as a surveying tool within archaeology, but a new high‐resolution technique th…

Franco and Hitler
The Hitler/Franco encounter at Hendaye in October 1940 was a central myth of Francoist propaganda. Allegedly, faced with threats and blandishments to force Spain into war on the Axis side, Franco coolly stood his ground and thereby secured Spanish neutrality. However, there is little evidence that Hitler did threaten Franco. His purpose in travelling to Hendaye, and to Montoire where he met Laval and Pétain, was to compare the relative cost of cl…

The Dilemma of Credibility
IT IS REPORTED THAT WHEN ALVARO CUNHAL CAME OUT OF PRISON IN the late 1950s, he initiated a purge of the leadership of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP). Their crime was apparently españolismo – or a sympathy with the broad reformist policy of ‘national reconciliation’ adopted by the Spanish Communists in 1956. The Spanish leaders were aware of this implied slur on their revolutionary seriousness, but as both parties battled for survival again…
Alfonsist Monarchism and the Coming of the Spanish Civil War
The Second Republic in Spain (I931-36) witnessed a process of working class radicalization which the conservative classes were ill-equipped to face. The radicalization was not of recent origin; the lack of a suitable conservative posture was. When the normal political mechanism had been found incapable of dealing with social and economic unrest in I917 recourse was had to the army; the crisis found its resolution in the dictatorship of Primo de R…
General Franco as Military Leader
BOTH during his lifetime, and after his death, General Franco was reviled by his enemies on the left and subjected to the most absurd adulation by his admirers on the right. As the victor in a bloody civil war which inflamed passions throughout the world, that is hardly surprising. Leaving aside his personal political success in remaining in power for nearly four decades, his victory in the Spanish Civil War was his greatest and most glorious ach…

Spain's October Revolution and the Rightist Grasp for Power
In October 1934 a general strike broke out in Madrid, the bourgeois left-liberal government in Barcelona declared the independence of Spain's four Catalan provinces and, for two weeks, revolutionary miners in Asturias fought a desperate battle against the Spanish army. These events were the response of various left-wing elements to the proposed entry into the cabinet of three ministers from the authoritarian Catholic party, the CEDA.1 Since, in t…
