A fast paced review that follows the transformation of the perception of military and defence affairs from the end of the civil war and the dictatorship to 1977, and then on to 2007, the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Ministry of Defence. It specifically addresses the changes in the attention devoted by the media to these matters starting when the Armed Forces were part of the threat to democracy, as their mission was to prevent it, to the moment they became an instrument of national sovereignty and a fundamental support of Spain’s foreign policy.
