LET'S TALK, martes 5 de marzo a las 12 h., Seminario

This week we will be discussing a review from El Pais of a book by English author Paul Preston - an expert on the Spanish Civil War. Called 'The Spanish Holocaust', Preston argues strongly that  - with all the evidence we have - Franco's forces 'were responsible for a far greater number of civilian deaths'. Moreover:  'The majority of those who died, wherever it was, died needlessly...and where there was no resistance.'

In reading this review, which contains confronting detail, do you agree with Preston's argument? In particular, that Franco's forces used sexual abusive as a weapon and were more blood-thirsty during and after the war?
