Reviews
"The book is an instructive synthesis of the history of Spain over 200 years. Modern Spain not only debunks the old 'failure narrative' but also complicates the larger European narrative, by undermining the very idea of a European model. The monograph merits a place among the best single volume analyses of the thorny history of contemporary Spain and will be very helpful for undergraduate and postgraduate students alike." - Alejandro Quiroga, Newcastle University for the Journal of the Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies (2018)
