Over the past fifty years, ETA has left its stamp of terror on the society of Navarra: responsible for killing 42 people, kidnappings, hundreds of terrorist attacks, extortion, jeopardising political life, instilling fear and in short, damaging the society that it claimed to defend through arms. After the terrorist group announced its definitive end to violence, and despite not having been dissolved, the time has come to tell what has happened over the past half century. Closing this ominous era implies recording the terror. Although there is no turning back for

the killings, History will make us better if it is written with honesty. This is the aim of Relatos de Plomo, a two-volume work that extensively records the history of terrorism in the Autonomous Community of Navarre. To do so, it includes chronicles of all the major terrorist attacks, both the fatal and non-fatal, and interviews with relatives of the victims and the seriously injured, whereby for many, it is the first time that they give their testimony. The first volume, which was published in December, contains the account of events from 1960 to 1986.

Published in December 2013, Volume I dealt with the facts from 1960 to 1986. Now, Volume II starts at the end of this period and reaches the present day, embracing the complete history of ETA’s terror campaign, which has affected the Navarra society for five decades. The last book, Volume III, will be published in 2015 with a series of related issues.
