This title in other formats:The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939by Antony Beevor
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Spanish Civil War is a compelling account of one of the most hard-fought and bitter wars of the twentieth century: a war of atrocities and political genocide that was a military testing ground before the Second World War for the Russians, Italians, and Germans. With his thorough and contemporary examination of the Spanish civil war, historian Antony Beevor unravels the complex events from the coup d'etat which started the war in July of 1936 to the final defeat of the Republicans in 1939. This highly readable account leaves out none of the familiar aspects, exploring them with a clear eye and providing important new insights into the war-its causes, course, and consequences.
Book News Annotation:Renowned historian of World War II Beevor (U. of London) has
radically rewritten his The Spanish Civil War, published in 1982 by
Orbis Publishing, drawing on research by Spanish and other historians
over the intervening quarter century, and material from German and
especially Soviet archives that was not accessible previously. He
finds that the additional information seems to have raised more
questions than it answers, then suggests perhaps he has lost some of
his passionate certainty from bygone years.
