Tank Combat in Spain by Anthony Candil
This book covers the deployment of tanks during the Spanish Civil War, how they fought, and the lessons derived from their use in that conflict.
Candil offers an important contribution, both narrative and analytical, to this instructive topicIn particular, it is useful to consider how far the particular conflicts of an 'interwar' period assume not only a disproportionate but also a misleading significance. * Journal of Military History 11/01/2023 *
It is even more interesting to read and learn about tanks during the Spanish Civil War from an author who was a Senior Armor Officer in the Spanish Army. This is a valuable book not only for modellers, but for history fans who want to know more about this conflict. * DetailScaleView *
...a worthwhile investment for any wargamer with an interest in the period and might cause some to rethink their assumptions on armour and its use. * Wargames Illustrated *
...offers important insight into the employment of tanks during the war, lessons learned (or not learned) by the participating armed forces… * Globe at War 21/06/2021 *
…an interesting and well-rounded account of the beginnings of tank-on-tank warfare. Definitely recommended. * Miniature Wargames 31/08/2021 *
Many theories on modern armored combat had their origin in the Spanish Civil War...This knowledge would soon be used to great effect in World War II. * Military Heritage *
Making use of resources in Spanish and Italian hitherto largely overlooked by writers on the subject, defense analyst Candil, a former Spanish armor officer, has produced an excellent account of the role of armor in the Spanish Civil War, while also offering a fairly even-handed treatment of the conflict. A valuable read for anyone with an interest in armor or in the Spanish Civil War. * The NYMAS Review 31/08/2021 *

As a senior Armor officer in the Spanish Army, Anthony J. Candil had direct experience of the struggle of the tank concept in Spain, not then to replace the horse anymore, but to establish the armor as the primary combat arm in mobile warfare, and to create an armored corps within the Spanish ground forces.
