Spanish text. The bombing of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War was the first mass air attack on a densly populated town. It was carried out at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist Government by its allies, the Nazi German Luftwaffe's Condor Legion and the Fascist Italian Aviazione Legionaria. It was a war crime by definition, even before the work of Pablo Picasso brought its full horror to the world's attention. A huge international outcry resulted whose echo continues to shake our consciences. The book includes a Spanish language DVD which tells the story through the eyes of those who were there and well known military historians.
