Product Information
UPDATED EDITION A rousing and full-blooded account of the Spanish Civil War and the rise to prominence of General Franco. The Spanish Civil War is burned into European consciousness, not simply because it prefigured the much larger world war that followed it, but because the intense manner of its prosecution was a harbinger of a new and horrific form of warfare that was universally dreaded. At the same time, the hopes awakened by the attempted social revolution in republican Spain chimed with the aspirations of many in Europe and the United States during the grim years of the great Depression. On the 80th Anniversary of the conflict, this is a full-blooded account of this pivotal period in twentieth-century European history. Paul Preston vividly recounts the struggles of the war, analyzes the wider implications of the revolution in the Republican zone, tracks the emergence of Francisco Franco's brutal (and, ultimately, extraordinarily durable) fascist dictatorship and assesses the ways in which the Spanish Civil War was a portent of the Second World War that ensued so rapidly after it.Product Identifiers

Brilliant
The Spanish civil war and Preston is as the origins of war to AJP Taylor. Preston is the man! The war is a topsy turvy world where socialists got elected and the king asked to leave,the country then embarks on charges which I would liken to early Robespierre. The fascist coup is outrageous,disgusting and genocidal. Villages including women wiped out maybe 200,000 dead.Very very shocking and all the while supported by Mussolini's air force and later Condor (Hitler).Many supporters including Orwell, Hemingway and Jack Jones rushed to the socialist cause.Its an interesting read and of course a prelude of what was to come in May 1940.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
