Cincuenta años de la fundación de la Unión Militar Democrática, el valeroso intento de democratizar desde dentro el ejército español al final del franquismo.A comienzos de los años setenta, el ejército español se mostraba impermeable a las ansias de libertad y democracia que ya manifestaban amplias capas de la sociedad, y aparecia como un bastion invencible de la dictadura y la represion al final del franquismo. A pesar de ello, una reducida minoria de oficiales, entre los que se cuenta el entonces capitan de infanteria Xose Fortes, desafiaron a sus superiores con la fundacion, en septiembre de 1974, de la Union Militar Democratica (UMD). Este libro narra la historia de como este grupo de militares, alentados por el triunfo, meses antes, de la Revolucion de los Claveles en Portugal, arriesgaron su carrera y su libertad para introducir los ideales democraticos en las fuerzas armadas y defender los principios de la soberania popular y los valores de una sociedad progresista. Denunciados, detenidos y condenados a largas penas por induccion a la rebelion, los miembros de la UMD tuvieron aun fuerzas para denunciar y advertir de la creciente amenaza de un golpe de Estado militar en los comienzos de la Transicion. Solo con el paso de los años estos autenticos heroes fueron minimamente rehabilitados y merecidamente honrados por la democracia española que tanto contribuyeron a consolidar.

The First World War and its aftermath were significant events with widespread consequences that impacted everyday people. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the various ways in which the Great War affected urban life, extending beyond the typically recognized regions such as the European Great powers, the USA, and its colonies and spheres of influence. It explores the impacts on peripheral cities in East Asia, South Europe, Latin America, and Africa, which have often been overlooked in the historiography of the 1914-1918 conflict. Despite their historical neglect, these urban areas felt the repercussions of the war as it reshaped their structures, rhythms, and daily routines. This transformation influenced both private and public life, highlighting the crucial role these cities played as actors during wartime.
