Approximately 50,000 Spaniards were extrajudically executed in Republican Spain, following the failure of the military rebellion in July 1936. This mass killing of 'fascists' - the 'Red Terror' - seriously undermined attempts by the Republican government to present itself as fighting a war for democracy. This study challenges the common view that executions were the work of criminal or anarchist 'uncontrollables'.
