The bestselling author of STALINGRAD and BERLIN: THE DOWNFALL on
the Spanish Civil War, drawing on masses of newly discovered
material from the Spanish, Russian and German archives. The civil
war that tore Spain apart between 1936 and 1939 and attracted
liberals and socialists from across the world to support the cause
against Franco was one of the most hard-fought and bitterest
conflicts of the 20th century: a war of atrocities and political
genocide and a military testing ground before WWII for the
Russians, Italians and Germans, whose Condor Legion so notoriously
destroyed Guernica. Antony Beevor's account narrates the origins of
the Civil War and its violent and dramatic course 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. And he succeeds especially well in unravelling the complex
political and regional forces that played such an important part in
the origins and history of the war.
