Josep Benet no va dubtar mai a qualificar Franco com «un criminal de guerra». Per confirmar-ho, va iniciar ben aviat la seva denúncia dels crims del franquisme i va dedicar part dels seus esforços investigadors a escriure una sèrie de biografies sobre certs personatges que van ser injustament afusellats pel dictador: Lluís Companys, Domènec Latorre, Carles Rahola i Joan Peiró. La filla de Carrasco i Formiguera recorda en un emotiu epíleg que ja el 1944, Josep Benet li va prometre fer un llibre sobre el seu pare. I des de llavors començà a recollir material per dur-lo a terme.Manuel Carrasco i Formiguera, afusellat -ordenat i revisat per Josep Poca- és la darrera aportació de l'historiador Josep Benet a la reivindicació d'uns homes memorables, defensors de les llibertats. El dia 9 d'abril de 1938, quan feia gairebé dos anys que durava la guerra d'Espanya, Manuel Carrasco i Formiguera, el dirigent més popular del partit català d'inspiració democratacristiana Unió Democràtica de Catalunya, fundat a finals de l'any 1931, era afusellat a la ciutat de Burgos. El seu afusellament, ordenat pel mateix general Franco, és un dels fets més crus i alhora reveladors, ja que ha contribuït a bastament a explicar què va significar el franquisme. Llegint aquesta biografia entendrem en tota la seva profunditat un dels aspectes fonamentals de la guerra d'Espanya i del règim franquista: l'odi contra Catalunya i contra tota expressió de catalanitat de tots aquells que només desitjaven destruir la identitat del poble català.
The Austrian aristocrat Baron Rudolph von Ripper (1905?60) was acclaimed internationally as an artist, military hero and bon viveur before his astonishing legacy was unintentionally erased by history. Fortuitously, the recent discovery of a dossier of his letters and photographs at an uninhabited Spanish villa has led to its resurrection in this gripping biography.Von Ripper lived ? and loved ? with brio and befriended many colourful luminaries in Paris, Berlin and the USA whilst engaging in a lifelong struggle to expose through art and resistance the vulgarities and brutalities of fascist rulers. His riposte to imprisonment and torture by the Nazis was to enlist as an Allied war artist and intelligence officer in WWII.?A Cold War CIA agent during the 1950s, Mallorca was von Ripper?s ?haven of peace and beauty? ? and also a hotbed of spies and ex-Nazis. Pursued by his wartime enemies, he died at his Mallorcan villa in mysterious circumstances in 1960.

El apellido Allende evoca de inmediato la figura del presidente chileno, derrocado por un golpe de estado, que además le costó la vida. Tati fue la hija revolucionaria de Allende y tras el golpe de estado huyó de Chile y se refugió en Cuba. Allí fue convertida por el aparato propagandístico de Fidel Castro en un icono de la lucha revolucionaria, una figura modelada y manipulada según los intereses del régimen comunista de la isla. Incómoda por esta situación y desolada por haber sido abandonada por su marido y padre de sus dos hijos, Tati se quitó la vida en su apartamento de La Habana, donde había llegado hacía cuatro años. Basándose en la escasa documentación existente y recreando novelísticamente los episodios de los que apenas nada se sabe, Margarita Espuña reconstruye en esta brillante y emocionante biografía la figura de una mujer valiente y honesta, que fue víctima de la convulsa historia de Latinoamérica en la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
