La guerra injusta; cartas de un español

In this candid memoir, a seasoned Spanish observer turns his pen toward the turmoil of the Great War, offering a thoughtful exploration of conscience, patriotism, and the moral dilemmas that grip a continent at war. He recounts his own decision to side with France, weighing personal motives against a broader sense of justice, and reflects on the varied reasons Spaniards choose either the German or French camps—from admiration of discipline to hopes for liberty.

Through a series of intimate letters, he probes the attitudes of his fellow countrymen—military men, clergy, socialists, and idle onlookers—revealing how politics, culture, and personal temperament shape their loyalties. The narrative captures the restless search for clarity amid propaganda and fear, inviting listeners to consider how ordinary people grapple with the weight of history when the world around them erupts in violence.
