Meer over het boek

The study presents a critical examination of the extrajudicial executions in Republican Spain during July 1936, arguing against the prevailing belief that these acts were solely perpetrated by criminal or anarchist elements. It delves into the political and social dynamics of the time, suggesting a more complex involvement of various factions and the implications of state control. This analysis aims to provide a deeper understanding of the motivations and consequences behind these executions within the broader context of the Spanish Civil War.
