The violence consisted of the killing of tens of thousands of people, including 6,832 Roman Catholic priests, the vast majority in the wake of the rightist military coup in July 1936, the Spanish nobility, small business owners, industrialists, conservative politicians, and known or suspected supporters of the right-leaning parties or the anti-Stalinist Left, and the desecration and arson attacks against monasteries, convents, Catholic schools, and churches.[12]

It may be hard to recall now, but there was a time when most Americans were decidedly more blasé about bombing attacks. This was during the 1970s, when protest bombings in America were commonplace, especially in hard-hit cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Nearly a dozen radical underground groups, dimly remembered outfits such as the Weather Underground, the New World Liberation Front and the Symbionese Liberation Army, set off hundreds of bombs during that tumultuous decade—so many, in fact, that many people all but accepted them as a part of daily life. As one woman sniffed to a New York Post reporter after an attack by a Puerto Rican independence group in 1977: “Oh, another bombing? Who is it this time?’”

(fun fact: in HS, I was in a shitty garage band that never played anywhere apart from our garage, but we called ourselves The Whiskey Priests because the singer loved that book and "whiskey priest" is one of Greene's descriptions of his main protagonist)

You know Hitler said Franco was the most miserable meeting he ever took. Hitler asked him for troops and Franco said what's in it for me. Hitler said well I already promised every postwar spoil to Vichy France so... Franco told him to pound sand. Hitler was furious.
