The Spanish Civil War by Paul Preston
UPDATED EDITION A rousing and full-blooded account of the Spanish Civil War and the rise to prominence of General Franco.‘[Preston’s] economical style, together with a telling choice of quotes and mordant use of irony, serve his purpose admirably…it is founded upon a vast knowledge and will not easily be refuted’ History Today
‘Not just a detailed description of events but a real interpretation of the causes and course of the war. By allowing the actors of the great Spanish drama to speak, he captures the dynamics of the civil war.’ La Stampa
‘Paul Preston’s book throws new, definitive light on the conflict.’ L’Unità
