«El caso Strauss» is the historical essay by José Carlos García Rodríguez, published by Editorial Akron S.L. in hardcover (266 pages, in Spanish).
The essay reconstructs how Daniel Strauss, a Dutch gambler, and his partner Perlowitz tried to legalize a rigged roulette wheel in Spain. The ensuing scandal became a crisis that marked the end of the Second Republic. It also explains why the word 'estraperlo' came to designate the black market of the Civil War and the postwar period.
The work appeared in 2008, with a prologue by J. M. Martínez Valdueza, in the Akrón essay collection.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of Spain, the Second Republic, and twentieth-century political scandals.
