HISTAGRA's Uncomfortable Pasts Cycle: Until its total extermination. The Anti-Partisan War in Spain, 1936-1952

On 26 March at 7 p.m. at the Faculty of Geography and History (Lecture Hall 14), the HISTAGRA Group is organising the presentation and subsequent conference of the book Hasta su total exterminio. La guerra antipartisana en España, 1936-1952 by Arnau Fernández Pasalodos, lecturer at the University of Granada.

Arnau Fernández Pasalodos (Barcelona, 1995) holds a PhD in contemporary history from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He was a postdoctoral researcher at University College Dublin and was part of the ERC Civil Wars project team led by Professor Robert Gerwarth. He is currently a lecturer at the University of Granada.

‘Until their total extermination. La guerra antipartisana en España, 1936-1952’ is a critical review of what happened during the years of violence against Republican resistance fighters (1936-1952), a time of repression and extermination of the guerrillas, focusing on the repressors, especially the Guardia Civil, who persecuted any hint of rebellion against the coup d'état and the subsequent dictatorial regime: ‘To the enemies in the countryside we must wage war without quarter until we achieve their total extermination, and as their actions are facilitated by their accomplices, abettors and confidants, with them we must follow the identical system. ’ These are the words of Eliseo Álvarez-Areas, director general of the Civil Guard in 1941.
