FRANCO SEIZED Barcelona in 1939, and Casals's artistic neutrality ceased.

Patria Y Libertad was formed only after Allende's 1970 election, but the group rapidly gained strength, attracting financial support, as had Hitler and Mussolini, from members of the old conservative landed and industrial classes. The last few months of the socialist government were punctuated with terror bombings...
