'Las últimas horas de José Antonio Primo de Rivera'

At ten o'clock in the morning on March 14, 1936, José Antonio Primo de Rivera was arrested in Madrid on charges of illegal possession of weapons. The following day, at night, he was admitted to Largo Caballero's former cell in the Modelo prison in the same city. On June 5, he was transferred to Alicante prison, where he remained until his execution on November 20. After the huge success of The Passion of José Antonio, and when everything, or almost everything, was believed to have been revealed about the circumstances of his death, José María Zavala surprises us once again with another arsenal of previously unpublished documents. Without abandoning the fast-paced pace of a thriller or the usual rigor of its reporting, these pages offer new and relevant information located in the "lost files" of those involved in José Antonio's death: from the judge who "tried" him to the wretch who later signed the execution order, including the director of the Alicante prison or the members of the firing squad who cut short his life in the courtyard of that prison.
