Guernica: The Crucible of World War II by: Witts, Max Morgan Thomas, Gordon

Hardcover. NY, Stein and Day, 1st, 1975, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, 319 pages, hardcover. Dust jacket has some very minor wear on the edges. Covers are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. B&W photography throughout. The cultural and religious capital of northern Spain was reduced to rubble on April 26, 1937. Franco said the people of Guernica destroyed the town themselves. Others--in Spain and throughout the world--protested what they believed to be an unprecedented wartime slaughter of innocent civilians. The investigative journalism that resulted in this book proves both views wrong, at last presenting the truth about a tragedy too long misunderstood. Clean copy. Record # 33742
