Gernika and the advent of terror bombing

Xabier Irujo’s concise history traces the bombing of the Basque town of Gernika from the decision to attack an open city through the assault and its aftermath. The account places the event within Basque history while also considering its wider significance as a marker of a new age of warfare. This scope gives the book a clear historical arc: the attack itself is linked to the decisions that preceded it and the consequences that followed, rather than treated as an isolated episode.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a short historical account of the bombing of Gernika.
  • Readers interested in Basque history and the history of aerial warfare.
