The new book by Fernando Martínez Laínez is entitled "El soldado español," an elaborate fusion of the Spanish collective imagination that had an intense and changing journey, ..

that had a great empire and sealed with its imprint an important stretch of the future of humanity until it fell into the most suffocating isolation, thanks to a series of monarchs who failed to satisfy a people full of longing for freedom and progress.

That Spanish soldier, whom the author of the book studies, is an inseparable part of the past and present of Spain. The book studies those warlike fluctuations that have shaped our history and that have forged anonymous soldiers who took part in the greatest deeds of history and, in turn, in the greatest failures. The book has numerous illustrations to give us an idea of ??the evolution of those soldiers who fought on the five continents of the world.
