Historia del maquis : El largo camino hacia la libertad en España

The end of the war in 1939 was only the beginning of the anti-Franco resistance for many guerrillas. Whether driven by political ideals or fear of reprisals from the regime, many Spaniards took to the mountains and began a guerrilla war that soon evolved into an organized armed movement: the Maquis. Largely managed by socialist and communist groups, especially under the auspices of the Communist Party of Spain, the Maquis carried out numerous acts of defiance against the regime, from robberies and kidnappings to assassinations and bombings. With the Civil Guard constantly on their heels, the Maquis spread out into groups throughout the Iberian Peninsula and fought, with varying degrees of success, in a struggle that we now know was destined to fail.
