«El asesinato de García Lorca» is the historical essay by Ian Gibson, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (413 pages, in Spanish).
The book reconstructs the background to the military uprising in Granada and the subsequent repression, and follows the poet's last steps until his death. Gibson dismantles the image of Lorca as an apolitical figure and documents his commitment, in an investigation begun in Granada in 1965, when the subject was taboo.
The work appeared in 1971 at Ruedo Ibérico and was translated into fourteen languages; this 1985 edition is from the Tribuna collection of Plaza & Janés: History (no. 60), with photographs in plates.
It will interest readers of contemporary history and those wishing to delve deeper into the figure of Federico García Lorca and the Spanish Civil War.
