A fresh and acclaimed account of the Spanish Civil War by the bestselling author of "Stalingrad" and "The Fall Of Berlin 1945" To mark the 70th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War's outbreak, Antony Beevor has written a completely updated and revised account of one of the most bitter and hard-fought wars of the twentieth century. With new material gleaned from the Russian archives and numerous other sources, this brisk and accessible book (Spain's #1 bestseller for twelve weeks), provides a balanced and penetrating perspective, explaining the tensions that led to this terrible overture to World War II and affording new insights into the war-its causes, course, and consequences.
Reviews
This book is destined for the first rank of general histories of the [Spanish] Civil War. (Santos Juli, "El Pafs")
Another great book from Antony Beevor. This is a revised version of an earlier work of Beevor's on the Spanish Civil War. The narrative is clear and well written (as you would expect from the author of the wonderfully readable "Berlin" and "Stalingrad") and Beevor keeps a quite detailed narrative clear and precise. In my opinion not as good as Hugh Thomas' classic exhaustive account, but still excellent and highly recommended.
