¿Cuál fue el papel de Reino Unido en la guerra civil española? Pese a su aparente neutralidad, Gran Bretaña jugó un papel fundamental en la guerra civil española. En este volumen, Paul Preston reúne sus ensayos (en su mayoría, inéditos) sobre esa cuestión, y pone de manifiesto el cinismo y la hipocresía de la política exterior británica, cuya traición al Gobierno republicano y a la democracia española tuvo un gran impacto en la vida de muchas personas. También evalúa la influencia de algunas de las voces más importantes de la literatura británica (George Orwell, Herbert Southworth, Burnett Bolloten y Gerald Brenan) en la opinión pública de su país sobre la Guerra Civil, y enfrenta la actitud oficial de su Gobierno con los visibles esfuerzos del personal sanitario de medio mundo, entre los que se encontraban médicos y enfermeras de Gran Bretaña, Irlanda y países de la Commonwealth, para aliviar el sufrimiento de los españoles.Sobre Franco:«Paul Preston ha escrito, y con gran diferencia, la mejor biografía del dictador Franco.»L.M. Anson «La biografía definitiva y apasionante del dictador español Francisco Franco.»Publishers Weekly «Preston nos presenta un retrato de Franco muy diferente al que generalmente conocemos.»Kirkus ReviewSobre Juan Carlos: «Una biografía excelente.»Sunday Times «Se lee, como suele suceder con sus libros, como se bebe agua. Una obra generosa en perspectivas y torrencial en anécdotas. […] El libro no ahorra detalles». Quico Alsedo, El Mundo«Una obra espléndida, que a modo de biografía no autorizada, nos ofrece una visión de la España contemporánea.»Marius Carol, La Vanguardia
