Sir Paul Preston is one of the world's leading historians, a renowned expert on the history of Spain, and Francisco Franco's principal biographer. For over 50 years, he has studied the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, winning numerous prestigious international awards for his research.

In this book, Preston addresses one of the most neglected topics of the 20th century: the systematic extermination of political opponents by the Franco regime. Drawing on archival documents, eyewitness accounts, and precise statistics, the author reveals the scale of the state terror that underpinned the dictatorship.

The book has received high praise from historians and journalists. Giles Tremlett, a columnist for The Guardian, called it the first full and honest attempt to understand this horror, noting the appropriateness of the term "Holocaust" to describe the scale of the violence. During Franco's rule, approximately one million people were imprisoned for political reasons, and thousands were executed, making this study a compelling documentary record of a dark chapter in European history.
