"This book does a wonderful job of dissecting the Catalan independence movement, analysing its victories, defeats, and the broader implications of its strategic decisions. We are provided with profound insights into the interplay of internal weaknesses and state repression, whilst offered a nuanced critique of both leadership choices and institutional crises. A timely exploration of political dynamics, and enduring challenges, this book is essential for understanding Catalonia's past and envisioning its future." Andrew Dowling, Reader in Contemporary Spanish History, Cardiff University.
