Los secretos de la defensa de Madrid, de Manuel Chaves Nogales, narra los primeros meses de la defensa de la ciudad durante la Guerra Civil Española, desde noviembre de 1936 hasta febrero de 1937. Escrito en 1938, cuando Madrid aun resiste a las tropas del General Franco, el autor presta especial atención a la figura del General Miaja, y refleja el sufrimiento de la población civil, la situación en los distintos frentes, los enfrentamientos entre anarquistas y comunistas, la tensa situación con el Gobierno de la República, el "terror rojo", y numerosos episodios y anécdotas de aquellos días, mientras hace una denuncia de la que denomina "guerra estúpida" a la que condujo el enfrentamiento entre "las dos modernas concreciones de la humana bestialidad", los movimientos revolucionarios comunistas/anarquistas y el fascismo.
Con una prosa ágil, Chaves Nogales toma partido y, con la emoción de una novela, nos lega un testimonio periodístico fundamental, de primera mano, sobre unos hechos que aún resuenan hoy. Una de las páginas de oro del periodismo español convertido por su talento en gran literatura.
Los secretos de la defensa de Madrid, by Manuel Chaves Nogales recounts the first months of Madrid's resistance during the Spanish Civil War, from November 1936 to February 1937. Written in 1938, while Madrid still resisted, the author focuses on General Miaja, and depicts the suffering of civilians, the shifting battlefronts, clashes between anarchists and communists, tensions with the Republican government, the "red terror," and vivid episodes from those days. Denouncing what he calls the "stupid war" born from the clash between "the two modern forms of human brutality"—revolutionary communism/anarchism and fascism—Chaves delivers both a personal and partisan view and a gripping, first-hand journalistic testimony, turning history into great literature.
