In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.The Transformation of Spain tells the remarkable story of how a country, which for almost four decades had endured the dictatorship of General Franco, changed its regime radically, rapidly, and without a violent upheaval.

But "courage knows no international frontiers" and the authors have paid full tribute… Read More
