This book explores the attitudes of the Spanish army officer corps
towards the evolution of warfare during the early decades of the
twentieth century, and their influence on the armies of the Spanish
Civil War. It examines how the Spanish military coped with
technological innovations such as the machine gun and the tank, how
it adapted the armys battlefield doctrine to changes in warfare
before the Civil War, and the influence of this doctrine on the
outcome of the conflict. Of the different armed forces that fought
in the Spanish Civil War, it is paradoxically the Spanish army that
remains most forgotten - especially its military doctrine.
Scholarship on the Spanish military in this period focuses on its
politics, ideology and institutional reforms, touching upon 'hard'
professional issues only superficially, if at all. Based on
original research and using largely unstudied Spanish primary
sources, this book fills a major scholarly gap in the history of
the Spanish army and the Spanish Civil War.
