The Spanish Civil War was a conflict that pitted the Republican government against Spanish Nationalists led by General Francisco Franco from 1936-1939. Families were torn apart as people took sides. That includes relatives of writer Julian Zabalbeascoa, who has now written a novel based on his family history called, "What We Tried to Bury Grows Here." He discussed his book with The World's Host Marco Werman.
