Juan Avilés Farré is a professor of Contemporary History at the UNED. He has written books about the civil war: Pasión y farsa: franceses y británicos ante la guerra civil española (Passion and Farce: The French and British in View of the Spanish Civil War), the birth of Communism: La fe que vino de Rusia: la revolución bolchevique y los españoles (The Faith That Came from Russia: The Bolshevik Revolution and the Spaniards), Ferrer y Guardia: Francisco Ferrer y Guardia: pedagogo, anarquista y mártir  (Francisco Ferrer y Guardia: Pedagogue, Anarchist and Martyr) and Al Qaeda: Osama Bin Laden y Al Qaeda: el fin de una era (Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda: The End of an Era). True to Voltaire’s advice, he believes that the historian has two main obligations: to entertain and to tell the truth.
