Abstract
First paragraph: In October 1934 revolutionary militias led by socialist leaders stormed cities across Spain. The former Minister of the Interior, Rafael Salazar Alonso, was arrested on crossing the border from Portugal. Socialist revolution had triumphed and overcome the desperate resistance of the army. Except they didn’t, he wasn’t, and it hadn’t. None of these claims were true.
