I own both this book and Beevors ear...lier book. “The Spanish civil war” “The Battle for Spain” is an expansion of his Earlier. Book comprising information that was not previously known and is the ultimate replacement for the earlier book. Highly recommend

Well written Hi...story. Like most only skirts over the war in the Air and Sea both of which never get the attention they merit. Deals with the politics well, but not enough details on the small minded Republican politicion's that kept pushing an Army towards revolt. Good photo selections, more correct details on how the Nationalist's ran the war eg food supplies, sound money, efficient industry and farming compared to the shambles on the Republican side. Makes the point well that whoever won there would have been reprisals and if you kill rivals to Franco you end up with Franco.
