In 1940, Daily Telegraph correspondent Henry Buckley published his
eyewitness account of his experiences reporting form the Spanish
Civil War. The copies of the book, stored in a warehouse in London,
were destroyed during the Blitz and only a handful of copies of his
unique chronicle were saved. Now, eighty years after its first
publication, this exceptional eyewitness account of the war is
republished with a new introduction by acclaimed scholar Paul
Preston. The Life and Death of the Spanish Republic is a unique
account of Spanish politics throughout the Second Republic, from
its foundation of 14 April 1931 to its defeat at the end of March
1939. It combines personal recollections of meetings with the great
politicians of the day and intimate accounts of dramatic events
with a deep understanding of Spain - its people, politics and
culture. Providing a fascinating portrait of a crucial decade of
contemporary Spanish history and based on an abundance of the
witness material, this important book is one of the most enduring
records of the Second Republic and is therefore essential reading
for anyone interested in the Spanish Civil War.
