UPDATED EDITION A rousing and full-blooded account of the Spanish
Civil War and the rise to prominence of General Franco. No modern
conflict has inflamed the passions of both civilians and
intellectuals as much as the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. Burned
into our collective historical consciousness, it not only
prefigured the imminent Second World War but also ushered in a new
and horrific form of warfare that would come to define the
twentieth century. At the same time it echoed the revolutionary
aspirations of millions of Europeans and Americans after the
painful years of the Great Depression. In this authoritative
history, Paul Preston vividly recounts the political ideals and
military horrors of the Spanish Civil War - including the
controversial bombing of Guernica - and tracks the emergence of
General Franco's brutal but extraordinarily durable fascist
dictatorship.
