The Popular Foundation for Basque Studies (FPEV) published "Pactos y Traiciones. Los Archivos Secretos de la Guerra en Euzkadi" in 3 volumes: Volume I, II, III. Its author, Carlos Olazabal, under the Ediciones Atxular Atea SL publisher, entrusted me with the design and layout of the covers and the inside pages for the publication's 3 volumes, information leaflet, bookmarks and roll-up posters. This work took months. From the transcription of the texts based on original letters to the arrangement of images, the final layout and insertion of the large illustrative map in the inside cover.
The publication, "Pactos y Traiciones. Archivos secretos de la guerra en Euzkadi" documents historical data, without any interpretation or opinion, of secret Italian records detailing the PNV negotiations with Franco, in which the surrender of Bilbao and the Santoña Pact were agreed. They are "classified" documents from the Civil War which cover the PNV negotiations with the troops that rose up against the Republican Government.

Volume II. Del Pacto de Bilbao al Pacto de Santoña (From the Bilbao Pact to the Santoña Pact). 454-page volume and a large fold-up map inside the back cover.
Volume III. El Fin (The End). 465-page volume and a large fold-up map inside the back cover.
