La destrucción de la democracia en España es un estudio extraordinariamente dramático de la lucha política y social en la Segunda República, y de su escalada hasta el estallido de la Guerra Civil. Trata tanto del desarrollo del PSOE, que sometido a la presión de la base de mineros y jornaleros pasa de posiciones reformistas a revolucionarias, como de las formaciones políticas de la oligarquía y de sus intentos de impedir las reformas a través de la imposición violenta del estado corporativo.
El libro está basado en una investigación inmensa sobre fuentes de derecha y de izquierda, y es fruto de más de cinco años de trabajo en archivos de varios países. Es el primer libro sobre los orígenes de la Guerra Civil que, al margen de la propaganda y la visión partidista de los hechos, estudia la brutalidad diaria de la lucha de clases en la Segunda República.

Work Description
The breakdown of democracy in Spain in the 1930s resulted in a torrent of political and military violence. In this thoroughly revised edition of his classic text, Paul Preston provides a deeply disturbing explanation of the democratic collapse, coherently and excitingly outlining the social and economic background. Since the first edition of this book was completed more than fifteen years ago, archives have been opened up, the diaries, letters and memoirs of major protagonists have been published and there have been innumerable studies of the politics of the Republic, of parties, unions, elections and social conflict, national and provincial. This new edition updates the original text as exhaustively as possible to take account of the new material.
