Description

The Spanish Civil War by Hugh Thomas A comprehensive and objective account of a pivotal conflict that continues to provoke intense debate today. This revised and updated edition of Hugh Thomas's classic history presents a detailed analysis of the passionate struggle between fascism and democracy, communism and Catholicism, set against the backdrop of a full-scale international war. The Republican cause, supported by left-wing sympathizers from around the world, faced off against the authoritarian regime of General Franco, with the British and US governments refusing to intervene. Thomas's masterful treatment of this complex and multifaceted conflict provides a nuanced understanding of the events leading up to the war, its course, and its devastating consequences. First published in 1962, this book has been widely praised for its thoroughness and balance, offering a deeply serious and engaging exploration of one of the most heroic and pitiful stories of the twentieth century.
