The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution & Revenge (Rev. Ed.) A pivotal moment in modern history, the Spanish Civil War has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. Spanning from 1936 to 1939, this conflict not only prefigured the Second World War but also introduced a new and devastating form of warfare that would shape the twentieth century. Paul Preston's authoritative history recounts the complex web of political ideals and military horrors that defined the war, including the infamous bombing of Guernica.

Through Preston's vivid narrative, the Spanish Civil War comes alive, offering a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
