La Revolución burguesa en España a lo largo del siglo XIX fue un proceso complejo y es todavía un tema de debate y de polémica entre los historiadores de las tres últimas décadas. Dentro de la estrategia política ensayada por los liberales, las juntas ocupan un papel principal y sirven para controlar y encauzar la revolución popular. El modelo y experiencia de 1808 se reproduce después en 1820, 1835, 1836, 1840, 1843, 1854 y 1868. El presente libro constituye una excelente monografía sobre el movimento juntero español de este período histórico, visto también a través de fuentes foráneas francesas. Una investigación centrada en el ámbito político que desmitifica muchos tópicos elaborados por la historiografía liberal.

En República mortal, el premiado historiador Edward J. Watts presenta una nueva historia de la caída de la República de Roma que explica por qué los ciudadanos romanos cambiaron la libertad por la dictadura. Durante siglos, al tiempo que Roma se convertía en la principal potencia militar y política del Mediterráneo, sus instituciones de gobierno, reglas parlamentarias y tradiciones políticas lograron fomentar la negociación y el compromiso. Sin embargo, a partir del año 130 a.C., dirigentes romanos como Sila, Pompeyo, Marco Antonio o Julio César empezaron a usar cada vez más las instituciones para buscar el lucro individual y obstaculizar a sus rivales, hasta que los enfrentamientos entre los políticos dieron paso a la violencia política en las calles. El terreno estaba abonado para unas guerras civiles destructivas y, al final, el reinado imperial de Augusto. Por encima de todo, la República romana enseña a los ciudadanos de nuestros días los peligros de consentir la obstrucción política y coquetear con la violencia. La historia de Roma demuestra con claridad que, cuando los ciudadanos miran hacia otro lado para no ver que sus dirigentes tienen comportamientos corrosivos, su república está en peligro de muerte.

La historia, la de España o cualquier otra, es una sucesión de acontecimientos que no cobra sentido hasta que el lector se detiene y reflexiona. La historia, la de España o cualquier otra, es una sucesión de acontecimientos que no cobra sentido hasta que el lector se detiene y reflexiona. Solo entonces advierte que hay sectores e intereses políticos, sociales y económicos que, camuflados en instituciones, sociedades o confesiones que parecen existir desde siempre, pretenden conservar a toda costa el poder y la hegemonía que en el pasado obtuvieron frente a la exigencia de igualdad, libertad y democracia que reclamaron las generaciones contemporáneas. Este libro,recogiendo los conocimientos básicos de nuestra historia contemporánea hasta fechas actuales, trata de reflexionar cada capítulo de la misma, tratando de contribuir al necesario y saludable acto de repensar esta compleja y diversa nación que es España.
