Remembering 23 F

Yesterday - and the days before - the media were full of remembrances of the 30th anniversary of a failed coup attempt of some militaries unhappy with the young Spanish democracy that took place on February 23, 1981; therefore its colloquial name "23 F". The daily El País even offers articles in English, here. Interestingly, a lot of the leading historians on contemporary Spanish history are British, such as e.g. Paul Preston of the LSE and Hugh Thomas.
The Wikipedia in its English verision is not really helpful on this topic but introduces the protagonists, here.
