Between Two Fires: Guerrilla War in the Spanish Sierras

SPAIN'S FORGOTTEN WAR
Spain's Civil War did not end in 1939. Guerrillas determined to oust Franco's ruthless military dictatorship fought on in the mountains in a war that went virtually unreported.
In Andalusia a legendary chieftain named Roberto led the "people of the sierra". Caught in the middle, torn by family and political allegiances, were the countryfolk . . . unknowing victims of decisions taken in Moscow, Paris, London and Washington.
This book relates what happens when a village finds itself in the front line. Guerrillas, villagers, Civil Guards tell of tragedy and betrayal, courage and stoicism. In addition, the author presents compelling new evidence about:
*  a brutal crime covered up for more than 50 years
*  how the USA secretly trained Spanish Communists
This is the poignant story of a community trapped . . . Between Two Fires
