However, this powerfully written book reveals that as Spain's first post-transition government attempted to destroy the Basque separatist group ETA, it adopted the very policies of indiscriminate terror that had characterized Franco's authoritarian regime and ETA's own strategy. Furthermore, the anti-terrorist liberation group GAL was organized and secretly funded by the government. For this paperback edition the text has been revised and thoroughly updated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A balanced, finely documented tale of how easily democratic institutions can run off the rails.\"--Rod Usher, \u003ci\u003eTime Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A complex and disturbing story magisterially deconstructed and retold . . .
