Description
Comrades! Portraits from the Spanish Civil War by Paul Preston is a new and compelling portrait of one of the 20th century's most tragic conflicts. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Spanish Civil War, focusing on those who stood apart from the fighting, exploring the idea of a 'Third Way' between the extremes. Through vivid psychological profiles of ten key individuals, including La Pasionaria and Generalissimo Franco, Preston builds an astonishingly detailed picture of how the war came to pass. This thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the passions that led to civil war, providing valuable insights into the complexities of human nature during times of conflict. Preston's work is a fascinating case study of nobility, arrogance, self-delusion and evil, offering a nuanced understanding of one of history's most pivotal events.
