This is a study in English of the Carlist Movement, the extreme right-wing party in Spain, during the climactic decade of the 1930s. Carlism represents the oldest existing movement of the traditionalist right in Europe. In 1931 Carlists had already been in conflict with Spanish liberalism and leftism for over a century, seeking to reverse the trends of the nineteenth century and restore a religiously inspired corporative monarchy and harmonious society. During the 1930s they attacked and plotted the overthrow of the democratic Second Republic, participated in the rising of 1936 and then played a major political and military role within Nationalist Spain. Dr Blinkhorn discusses Carlism's internal politics, power struggles and sources of support; its ideology; its relations with other elements in the Spanish right, principally Falangism and Catholic conservatism; its attitude towards the Republic, liberalism and the left; its view of contemporary events elsewhere in Europe; its stress on paramilitarism and conspiracy against the Republican regime; and its wartime role.
In the 1930s Spain underwent a period of intense and bloody upheaval that culminated in three years of civil war and the triumph of the Nationalist rebels under General Franco. Hundreds of thousands of Spanish - and non-Spanish - people died in their struggle against what was seen as the greatest evil of the time: fascism and its commitment to the defeat of democracy. Fifty years on, with the coming of a new democracy to Spain, previously inaccessible research materials have become available to historians; old orthodoxies have been challenged and the continuing debate concerning the origins of the Spanish Civil War has been lively. In the light of this renewed interest Martin Blinkhorn has provided a lucid and readable introduction to events in Spain in the 1930s.

"Spain's Footprints in Philadelphia" brings to life an unknown Colonial history in the city. It is a recount of almost forgotten historic happenings, carried out by people from Spain in the city of Philadelphia.It is an authentic display of information, a touching story narrated by someone with experience as an immigrant from Spain in North America.Without being an extensive work of investigation, it is indeed an interesting attempt to chronologically describe the daily steps taken by Spaniards that somehow left behind an indelible set of footprints worth mentioning. Their stories were often ignored, but not forgotten in the memory of those who are fond of the past. In a way this book is a dedication to those who helped to mold the American frame and maintain the "Spanish torch" lit while away from their homeland of Spain.
Illustrated with spectacular photographs, Spain showcases the jewel of southwestern Europe. From the stunning architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona in the north of the country, to the national parks of Alpujarras and Donana in Andalucia in the south, there are hundreds of miles of sights to explore with every chapter. Explore the Roman influences on the Iberian Peninsula and the vestiges of early Islamic rule in Córdoba. Spain also features everyday lifestyles of the people of the country including markets, food and fabulous flamenco dancing. Leaving the mainland behind, there is plenty more to see on the Canary Islands of Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura and Balearic Islands of Majorca, Ibiza and Minorca to name just a few. Arranged by region, the book explores Spanish tradition and contemporary culture alike from medieval times to the present day. Presented in a portrait format and with expert captions explaining the fascinating stories behind each setting, Spain is a brilliant collection of images.
In Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814: Living and Negotiating in the Land of the Infidel, Eloy Martín-Corrales surveys Hispano-Muslim relations from the late fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a period of chronic hostilities. Nonetheless there were thousands of Muslims in Spain at that time: ambassadors, exiles, merchants, converts, and travelers. Their negotiating strategies, and the necessary support they found on both shores of the Mediterranean prove that relations between Spaniards and Muslims were based on reasons of state and on a pragmatism that generated intense political and economic ties.These increased enormously after the peace treaties that Spain signed with Muslim countries between 1767 and 1791.

The Spanish Second Republic, 1931-1939, has been written about widely and remains mired in antifascist, anti-communist, and historical memory controversies. A deep dive into the Soviet, British intelligence and other European archives, this new book brings the majority consensus among historians of the Second Republic into question and sheds new light on the scale of Soviet communist activity in Spain before the outbreak of war in July 1936.Providing an in-depth analysis of Comintern (RGASPI) and other European archival documentation, much of which has not been discussed until now, Gustavo Martín Asensio here demonstrates the growing and fundamentally subversive activity of the Comintern within the socialist union and party, the armed forces and cultural influencers which culminated in the spring of 1936.
