Description
This sweeping history examines the Spanish Civil War, tracing the political tensions, social divisions, and ideological conflicts that plunged Spain into one of the twentieth century’s most bitter struggles. Drawing on newly available archival material and a wide range of sources, it follows the war’s major campaigns while illuminating the experiences of soldiers, civilians, and foreign powers drawn into the conflict. The book presents a balanced account of a war that became a testing ground for modern warfare and a prelude to the wider catastrophe of World War II, while exploring its enduring human and political consequences.
