Synopsis "Twentieth-Century Spain: A History "

This is a much-needed new overview of Spanish social and political history which sets developments in twentieth-century Spain within a broader European context. Julián Casanova, one of Spain's leading historians, and Carlos Gil Andrés chart the country's experience of democracy, dictatorship and civil war and its dramatic transformation from an agricultural and rural society to an industrial and urban society fully integrated into Europe. They address key questions and issues that continue to be discussed and debated in contemporary historiography, such as why the Republic was defeated, why Franco's dictatorship lasted so long and what mark it has left on contemporary Spain. This is an essential book for students as well as for anyone interested in Spain's turbulent twentieth century.

Breve historia de la guerra civil fue publicada originalmente en inglés y traducida también al árabe y al turco.

En abril de 2021 el Gobierno de Aragón le concedió el Premio de las Letras Aragonesas por «su larga trayectoria, la calidad científica de sus textos, el vigor y agilidad de su estilo ensayístico, su capacidad y voluntad de comunicación y el compromiso social de su obra». Sus dos últimos libros son Una violencia indómita. El siglo XX europeo (Crítica, 2020) y Franco (Crítica, 2025). Casanova ha sido profesor visitante en prestigiosas universidades de Europa y Estados Unidos y América Latina y asesor histórico de la película de Alejandro Amenábar Mientras dure la guerra (2019).
