This book discusses the Spanish Civil War under Francisco Franco. I didn't know a lot about this, other than Franco was a person and there was a Spanish Civil War. The book was certainly educational, even if I found it slightly dull at times. I did learn a lot about the political and societal issues between the factions, which is really the purpose of the book. The book drew me in with the discussion of mass graves being discovered from the Francisco Franco era. While this was discussed, it featured other things that I found slightly less interesting. There were several descriptions of places and buildings that were very detailed. I found those really neat and googled several of the things to see what they looked like while reading this book. I would actually really love to see a lot of this country in person, despite the fact that basically everyone hates American tourists. I found this book at my favorite used bookstore, and only paid a dollar for it. It was definitely worth that price and the time it took me to read it while waiting in my car for kids and coworkers to get off work.
