La paz negociada siempre; la rendicin sin condiciones para que fusilen a medio milln de espaoles, eso nunca..- Juan Negrn
La entrega se verificar en tales condiciones que no exista precedente en la historia y que ser el asombro del mundo..- Segismundo Casado
Esta es la historia de una tragedia evitable que cost muchos miles de vidas y arruin decenas de miles ms. Tiene numerosos protagonistas, pero se centra en tres individuos. El primero, el doctor Juan Negrn, presidente del gobierno de la segunda Repblica y vctima de lo que se podra llamar una conjura de necios, trat de impedir la tragedia. Los otros dos fueron responsables de lo acontecido. Uno, Julin Besteiro, actu con una asombrosa ingenuidad. El otro, Segismundo Casado, lo hizo con una sorprendente combinacin de cinismo, arrogancia y egosmo.
El resultado fue una catstrofe humanitaria y el peor final posible para la tragedia que fue la guerra de Espaa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The authoritative tale of the final months of the Spanish Civil War, written by Paul Preston, the most prestigious Hispanist of our time.
"Negotiated peace always; unconditional surrender so that they shoot half a million Spaniards, never." --Juan Negrn
This is the story of an avoidable tragedy that cost many thousands of lives and ruined tens of thousands more. It has many protagonists, but is centered around three individuals. The first, Dr. Juan Negrn, President of the Second Republic and victim of what could be called a "confederacy of dunces," tries to prevent the tragedy. The other two were responsible for what happened. One, Julin Besteiro, acted with astonishing naivete. The other, Segismundo Casado, acted with a surprising combination of cynicism, arrogance, and egotism.
The result was a humanitarian catastrophe and the worst possible end for the tragedy that was Spain's war.
