Spain's principal and most devastating war during the 20th century
was, unusually for most of Europe, an internal conflict. During the
Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939 two competing armies - the
insurgent and counterrevolutionary Nationalist Army and the
Republican Popular Army - engaged in a conflict to impose their
version of Spanish identity and the right to shape the country's
future. In its aftermath, Francoist Spain remained on a war footing
for the duration of the Second World War. In spite of the unabated
flood of books on the Spanish Civil War and its consequences,
historians of Spain in the 20th century have focused relatively
little on the interaction of society and culture, and their roles
in wartime mobilization. Spain at War addresses this omission
through an examination of individual experiences of conflict and
the mobilization of society. This edited volume acknowledges the
agency of low-ranking individuals and the impact of their choices
upon the historical processes that shaped the conflict and its
aftermath. In doing so, this new military history provides a more
complex and nuanced understanding of Spain's most intense period of
wartime cultural mobilization between the years 1936 to 1944 and
challenges traditional political accounts of the period.
