More DescriptionFollowing Duende and Andalus, Jason Webster embarks on a journey across Spain, this time in order to look at the Spanish Civil War and explore its lasting effects upon modern Spain in his own uniquely adventurous way. He looks at the brutality and the humanity that engulfed the nation during the years of battle between fascism, communism and democracy, and investigates the unspoken taboo that still suppresses open discussion of that bloody period amongst the Spanish to this day. Written with passion and an insider's knowledge of the country, Guerra will raise the question: Could the divisions that led to the Civil War still be simmering under the surface, and is it possible that they may yet erupt again?
