About the book

The Penguyin History of Modern Spain by Nigel Townson is a history book for adult readers.

A revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first, drawing on a wealth of Spanish-led historical scholarship never before seen in English 'Spain is different,' proclaimed the Franco regime in the 1940 s, keen to attract foreign tourists. For the most part, the world has agreed.

From the end of its 'glorious empire' in 1898 to the dazzling World Cup victory in 2010, the prevailing narrative of modern Spain has emphasized the country's peculiarity. Generations of historians and readers have been transfixed by its implosion into civil war in the 1930 s, seduced by the valiant struggle of the republicans, horrified by the barbarity of the dictatorship which followed. Franco's Spain was seen as an anomaly in the midst of prosperous and permissive post-war Western Europe.
