The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific
violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that
greeted the overthrow of the Spanish monarchy was utterly
transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil
war. Here Julian Casanova, one of Spain's leading historians,
offers a magisterial new account of this critical period in Spanish
history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the
open simmering tensions between Catholics and hardline
anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and
revolution. In 1936 these conflicts tipped over into the sacas,
paseos and mass killings which are still passionately debated
today. The book also explores the decisive role of the
international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome
of the conflict. Franco's victory was in the end a victory for
Hitler and Mussolini and for dictatorship over democracy.
