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.
