Miguel Campins

Miguel Campins was a Spanish general born in Alcoy, Alicante, on March 18, 1880. He dedicated his life to the military, achieving the rank of general on May 9, 1936, during the politically charged period following the February elections that brought the leftist Popular Front to power. Campins is newsworthy due to the recent publication of a novel titled 'Con nadie. Vida y destino del general Campins' by Lorenzo Silva. The novel explores Campins' life, particularly his opposition to the military coup of 1936, which ultimately led to his execution by rebel forces. The book's release highlights Campins' story as a figure who stood against the rising tide of fascism in Spain, offering a perspective on the complexities and tragedies of the Spanish Civil War and the enduring impact of such conflicts.
