There is a consensus among scholars regarding the slow transformation of 'hot-blooded terror' into 'cold-blooded terror' during the Civil War and the postwar period in Spain.

"This book deals with one of most controversial issues of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939): the "Red Terror." Approximately 50,000 Spaniards were extrajudically executed in Republican Spain following the failure of the military rebellion in July 1936. This mass killing of "fascists" seriously undermined attempts by the legally constituted Republican government to present itself in foreign quarters ...
