Description

SPAIN'S FORGOTTEN WAR
Spain's Civil War did not end in 1939. Guerrillas determined to oust Franco's ruthless military dictatorship fought on in the mountains in a war that went virtually unreported.
In Andalusia a legendary chieftain named Roberto led the "people of the sierra". Caught in the middle, torn by family and political allegiances, were the countryfolk . . . unknowing victims of decisions taken in Moscow, Paris, London and Washington.
This book relates what happens when a village finds itself in the front line. Guerrillas, villagers, Civil Guards tell of tragedy and betrayal, courage and stoicism. In addition, the author presents compelling new evidence about:
*  a brutal crime covered up for more than 50 years
*  how the USA secretly trained Spanish Communists
This is the poignant story of a community trapped . . . Between Two Fires
