Rezensionen

'This book, a must-read volume, offers a deeply moving and extremely timely perspective on the Spanish guerrilla by their civilian supporters - an area insufficiently acknowledged in scholarly studies to date. Weaving discussions of films, documentaries and interviews with a sophisticated but jargon-free framework of theories on historical memory, Professor Camino has written a superb and thought-provoking study that will become a classic.' - Professor Christine Arkinstall, University of Auckland, New Zealand
