Abstract
The destruction of the Spanish bibliographic heritage by the pro-Franco side during the Spanish Civil War is discussed in this article. The burning of books, the purging of the publishing market and bookseller funds and the weeding of libraries became an imperative for the military authorities. The target was to eliminate every pernicious publication that had poisoned the mind and soul of the Spanish.
