Uncommonly Savage: Civil War and Remembrance in Spain and the United States

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Spain and the United States both experienced extremely bloody and divisive civil wars that left social and emotional wounds, many of which still endure today. In Uncommonly Savage, award-winning historian Paul Escott considers the impact of internecine violence on memory and ideology, on politics, and on the process of reconciliation. He also examines debates over reparation or moral recognition, the rise of truth and reconciliation commissions, and the legal, psychological, and religious aspects of modern international law regarding amnesty.

This pioneering work--there are no other similar works on Spain and the United States--is based upon primary sources, including magazines, newspapers, public addresses, and policies of political leaders.
