Paul Preston is the world's foremost historian of Spain. This
surging history recounts the struggles of the 1936 war in which
more than 3,000 Americans took up arms. Tracking the emergence of
Francisco Franco's brutal (and, ultimately, extraordinarily
durable) fascist dictatorship, Preston assesses the ways in which
the Spanish Civil War presaged the Second World War that ensued so
rapidly after it. The attempted social revolution in Spain awakened
progressive hopes during the Depression, but the conflict quickly
escalated into a new and horrific form of warfare. As Preston
shows, the unprecedented levels of brutality were burned into the
American consciousness as never before by the revolutionary war
reporting of Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Herbert Matthews,
Vincent Sheean, Louis Fischer, and many others. Completely revised,
including previously unseen material on Franco's treatment of women
in wartime prisons, "The Spanish Civil War" is a classic work on
this pivotal epoch in the twentieth century.
