Summary
The ‘Tragic Week’ in Spain, which took place in July 1909, began as anti-conscription riots, but soon evolved into a widespread uprising attacking the pillars of Spanish society: Church and State. In The July Revolution, the full story of these events is told for the first time in English, by an astute newspaper editor and eye-witness to the events.

He was part of the militant Avenir Group, which published a newspaper of the same name, and edited the newspaper El Productor and collaborated on El Rebelde and La Revista Blanca. He took part in, and was imprisoned for, the events of Spain’s “Tragic Week” of 1909. Soon after, he participated in the founding congress of the CNT labor union and went on to become a major figure in Spanish anarcho-syndicalism. He died in 1922.
