A Cassell Military Classic.
The Spanish Civil War is a crucial episode in the history of modern war and warfare. This is a compelling account of one of the most hard fought and bitterest wars of the twentieth century, a war of atrocities and political genocide and a military testing ground before the Second World War for the Russians, Italians and Germans whose Condor Legion so notoriously destroyed Guernica.
From the coup d'etat in July 1936 through the savage fighting of the next three years which ended in catastrophic defeat for the Republicans in 1939 Antony Beevers unravels the complex political and regional forces that played such an important part in the origins and history of the War.
