This 2005 book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the
cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It
features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in
Spain, Britain and the US which examine the complex interaction of
national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of
the war. They argue that the 'splintering of Spain' resulted from
the myriad cultural cleavages of society in the 1930s that are
investigated here at both local and national levels. Thus, this
book tends to see the civil war less as a single great conflict
between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or
ways of life than historians have previously done. The Spanish
tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many
tensions, both those that were formally political and those that
were to do with people's perceptions and understanding of the
society around them.
