The Spanish Civil War

Reviews / Votes

'A lively and engaging study.' - George Esenwein, University of Florida, USA 'One of the most readable narrative accounts of the Spanish Second Republic, and its decline into civil war, currently available.' - Michael Richards, University of the West of England, UK 'Romero Salvado has produced an up-to-date analytical account, told chronologically, in order to guide the reader towards a clearer understanding of complex historical events...a clear, concise and highly readable account of the Civil War that is bound to be of value to students and general readers alike.' - The British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, the Caribbean, Portugal and Spain 'For all its clarity, conciseness, the breadth of its sources (including some primary ones) and the author's clear command of these, The Spanish Civil War is highly recommendable to readers of all levels of familiaritiy with the Spanish conflict.' - Gerald Blaney, Jr., Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade 'The Spanish Civil War demonstrates the qualities that are the hallmarks of a good general history. It packs a welter of precise detail, densely presented, into a narrative in which the authorial voice is strong but never simply tracks the inevitable.' - Judith Keene, Journal of Contemporary History 'The author shows a total mastery of the subject...the outcome is an engaging, serious, alluring and, above all, necessary work.' - Miguel Angel del Arco Blanco, Historia Contemporanea 'a very competent synthetic account that is soundly based on recent historiography.' - Mary Vincent, H-Soz-u-Kult
