Jordi Bru, the world's leading photographer of historical reenactments, and Rafael Torres, one of the foremost experts on 18th-century Spain, team up once again in a superb and surprising work: Allies. Through the lens and the pen, they commemorate 250 years of a decisive chapter in History: Spain's indispensable participation in the American Revolution. A book that unfolds a deeply immersive visual journey through the crucial moments of the conflict, revealing a vibrant and evocative setting. Each photograph becomes a gateway to a fascinating world: survival on the harsh Mississippi frontier, complex relations with Native American nations, the secret Spanish aid that fuelled the American cause, the intensity of the sieges of British forts, and the fierce battles against the dreaded German mercenaries. Relive memorable battles such as St. Louis, Mobila, or Pensacola, as well as the daily lives of the Cuera "dragons" herding cattle or the murky atmosphere of a frontier outpost teeming with spies and smugglers. All of these photographic compositions are the result of meticulous historical research and the careful selection of settings, uniforms, weapons, and materials specially gathered to recreate, with surprising fidelity, the spirit of truly once-in-a-lifetime moments. Readers who open Allies are treated to a striking, meticulous, and thrilling visual experience that transforms each photograph into a discovery and a unique piece of living history.
