This book presents an original new history of the most important
conflict in European affairs during the 1930s, prior to the events
that produced World War II the Spanish Civil War. It describes the
complex origins of the conflict, the collapse of the Spanish
Republic, and the outbreak of the only mass worker revolution in
the history of Western Europe. Stanley Payne explains the character
of the Spanish revolution and the complex web of republican
politics, while also examining in detail the development of
Franco's counterrevolutionary dictatorship. Payne gives attention
to the multiple meanings and interpretations of war and examines
why the conflict provoked such strong reactions in its own time,
and long after. The book also explains the military history of the
war and its place in the history of military development, the
non-intervention policy of the democracies, and the role of German,
Italian, and Soviet intervention, concluding with an analysis of
the place of the war in European affairs and in comparative
perspective of revolutionary civil wars of the twentieth century."
