The Spanish Civil War: A Military History takes a new, military
approach to the conflict that tore Spain apart from 1936 to 1939.
In many histories, the war has been treated as a primarily
political event with the military narrative subsumed into a much
broader picture of the Spain of 1936-9 in which the chief themes
are revolution and counter-revolution. While remaining conscious of
the politics of the struggle, this book looks at the war as above
all a military event, and as one in whose outbreak specifically
military issues - particularly the split in the armed forces
produced by the long struggle in Morocco (1909-27) - were
fundamental. Across nine chapters that consider the war from
beginning to endgame, Charles J. Esdaile revisits traditional
themes from a new perspective, deconstructs many epics and puts
received ideas to the test, as well as introducing readers to
foreign-language historiography that has previously been largely
inaccessible to an anglophone audience. In taking this new
approach, The Spanish Civil War: A Military History is essential
reading for all students of twentieth-century Spain.
