«Palomas de guerra» is Paul Preston's history essay on five women marked by the Spanish Civil War, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (494 pages, in Spanish).
Paul Preston reconstructs the lives of Mercedes Sanz-Bachiller, Nan Green, Priscilla Scott-Ellis, Margarita Nelken and Carmen Polo, five women of different nationalities, origins and ideologies whose existences were profoundly marked by the Spanish Civil War. The historian combines research with the personal stories of little-known protagonists, showing how the conflict transformed them in very different ways: some experienced loss, widowhood or exile, while the life of Carmen Polo, Franco's wife, also changed drastically, but from a very different position.
History work that continues the line of «Las tres Españas del 36». The edition includes 32 pages of black-and-white photographs. Published in 2001 in the Así Fue. La Historia Rescatada collection.
Recommended for readers interested in the Spanish Civil War and in the recovery of historical memory through biographies and female testimonies.
