Violencia

Jason Webster’s Violencia is as opinionated as it is fascinating. Even on periods that I know well, I found it illuminating and always provocative. Moreover, as is to be expected from the man who writes such intriguing crime novels, it is beautifully written and extremely witty * Paul Preston *
Violencia is a thrilling, page-turning adventure that spans the glittering expanse of Spanish history. Webster travels the horizon of Spain with the head-on confidence of the insider who has lived his subject, deftly bringing to life the grandeur, tragedy and mystery of the country which continues to the shape the identity of Europe and the world beyond * Jason Elliot *
A provocative and entertaining trot through the paradoxes of Spanish history and contains much interesting information * Literary Review *
Webster has produced what is destined to be a hotly-debated narrative of the land he knows so well * History of Way *
Violencia examines Spain from prehistory to the present. It is a delightfully engaging read and a good introduction to Spain’s turbulent history * The Times *
