Guernica by Ian Patterson
One of the most terrible ideas of the 20th century was that of total war - war by the obliteration of whole civilian populations. This book begins with a graphic account of what happened in Guernica on 26 April 1937 and its place in the course of the Spanish Civil War.
"'Aguirre [the Basque leader who reported the bombing] is lyingWe have respected Guernica as we respect everything Spanish' - Francisco Franco"
Ian Patterson teaches (mainly modern) English literature at Cambridge, where he is a Fellow of Queens' College. He is also a poet.
