"This is a history of Spain from 1898 to the present. On that date, due to the colonial disaster in the imperialist Europe of his time, contemporaries repeatedly asked themselves the question "What is Spain?", seeking its meaning as a nation and its role in the world. Since then the history of Spain has not been a permanent exception in the history of Europe, but it has had its singularities and anomalies that need to be located, measured and interpreted. And, perhaps, that question, in very different current conditions, is still relevant. The past does not resolve the present, but it helps to interpret it better. Today's Spain is a complex and difficult time that requires different and more adequate perspectives to understand its reality, far from interested media, political or ideological focuses. It is possible that the answers can be found by looking in the rearview mirror, looking, questioning and investigating the last hundred and twenty years of its history." --English translation of text on back of book
