The confrontational title disguises a very useful and readable political history of Spain. ( ) Es vergonzoso conocer la realidad de la clase política desde 1874 a 2014. Pocos han habido o hay que se hayan dedicado a la política por el afán de serviir a sus conciudadanos. Casi todos ellos quieren lo que quería Z, "quiero hacerme rico". Aunque está bien escrito es desagradable leer lo que explica. He tenido que hacer un esfuerzo para continuar conociendo lo que me duele en el alma: la corrupción de la clase política. Paul Preston emprende en esta obra el reto más atractivo para cualquier historiador: condensar su objeto de investigación en un manejable libro, reflejo de tantos años de experiencia. Con una concisión abrumadora, estas páginas exponen la historia del siglo XX en España, con el tema subyacente del desajuste entre una población deseosa de progresar y unas elites que no cesan de bloquear sus intentos. Un pueblo traicionado es, en definitiva, una crónica sobrecogedora de la devastadora deslealtad hacia los españoles por parte de su clase política, impasible ante la realidad social del país. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Nowhere does the ceaseless struggle to maintain democracy in the face of political corruption come more alive than in Paul Preston's magisterial history of modern Spain. The culmination of a half-century of historical investigation, A People Betrayed is not only the definitive history of Spain from 1876 to 2016, but an absorbing narrative that becomes a lens for understanding the challenges that all democracies have faced in the modern world. As A People Betrayed demonstrates, Spain's decrepit political system led to defeat in 1898 at the hands of the United States and cost Spain the last of its major colonies. Preston shows how the humiliation and economic degradation following the loss of empire brought forth a succession of feeble governments, culminating in the tragic Spanish Civil War and the rise of Francisco Franco's fascist dictatorship. The first historical work to discuss the continuities of political unrest and national anxiety in Spain up until the present, this sweeping history illuminates the vicious political cycle that continues to create a stark gulf between the people and the elite political powers who rule over them"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
