About This Book
The narrative reconstructs the plot, organization, and execution of the October 1910 republican uprising, combining accounts of espionage, conspiratorial planning, arrests, bomb-making, a high-profile assassination, and battlefield episodes that forced the monarch's flight and led to proclamation of the republic. It alternates detailed chapters on covert networks, failed initiatives, participants' testimonies and lost manuscripts with a chronological report of the revolt's decisive hours, emphasizing improvisation, internal doubts, logistical shortcomings, the moral impact of revolutionary acts, and how limited armed action and enemy inaction together produced success.
