The tragedy that devastated Spain for 33 months from July 1936 to
April 1939, was, first and foremost, a brutal fratricidal conflict,
the product of the fatal clash between diametrically opposed views
of Spain and an attempt to settle crucial issues which had divided
Spaniards for generations: agrarian reform, recognition of the
identity of the historical regions (Catalonia, the Basque Country),
and the roles of the Catholic Church and the armed forces in a
modern state. Being a war between Spaniards, it was particularly
brutal, but it was also part of the broader move toward war in
Europe and thus sucked in many "volunteers" from abroad. And it
left a deep imprint since General Francisco Franco remained at the
helm of the country until his death in 1975. The Historical
Dictionary of the Spanish Civil war covers the history of the war,
first through a long chronology, which highlights the major steps
from the incubation to the conclusion. The overall situation is
summed up in the introduction. Then the dictionary section fleshes
it out, with over 600 entries on persons, places, events,
institutions, battles, and campaigns. More reading can be found in
an extensive bibliography. This book is an excellent access point
for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
the Spanish Civil War.
