Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 - Antony Beevor ... 20th century: a war of atrocities and political genocide and a military testing ground before WWII for the Russians, Italians and Germans, whose Condor Legion so notoriously destroyed Guernica. This was Antony Beevor's first work of non-fiction, pre-dating his international bestselling STALINGRAD and BERLIN: THE DOWNFALL 1945. Now, more than 20 years later, he has substantially rewritten it drawing on masses of newly-discovered material from the Spanish, Russian and German archives. His account narrates the origins of the Civil War and its violent and dramatic course from the coup d'etat in July 1936 through the savage fighting of the next three years which ended in catastrophic defeat for the Republicans in 1939. And he succeeds especially well in unravelling the complex political and regional forces that played such an important part in the origins and history of the war.

Weir, Arabella - History

Very emotional and truthful book - war in the words of the men and women who were there Can get very emotipanl and rather painful to read at times - the truth can hurt

The truth...at last?, from the one person who really knows! Bit dry in parts.

a fantastic mockery and homage to history helps if you already know a little history
