	Hasta su total exterminio: La guerra antipartisana en España, 1936-1952 [Until its total extermination: The anti-partisan war in Spain, 1936-1952] (2023) Arnau Fernández Pasalodos In this book, Arnau Fernández Pasalodos delves into this conflict and the dynamics that determined the functioning of the Benemérita (Benemérita) during the first Franco regime. What emerges is a multifaceted portrait of the brutality and repression exercised, at all levels, against the partisans, their collaborators, the families of both, and even civilians unrelated to the conflict. But at the same time, this book highlights another aspect that has been overlooked by historiography: the true reality of the Civil Guard in the anti-guerrilla struggle. This book offers a novel, proportionate and ground-level look at the Spanish Civil War, about which there is still so much to say. Full details (opens in a new window)here.
	1923: The Forgotten Crisis that Led to Hitler's Rise to Power (2023) Mark Jones Tracing Hitler’s early rise, this book reveals how political pragmatism and unprecedented international cooperation with the West brought Germany out of its crisis year. Although Germany would succumb to tyranny a decade later, the story of the republic’s survival in 1923 offers essential lessons to anyone concerned about the future of democracy today.
