The Spanish Civil War, A Military History
A Military History
Book •
This book offers a fresh, military-focused perspective on the conflict that divided Spain from 1936 to 1939.
Esdaile examines the war primarily as a military event, highlighting the significance of military issues, particularly the division within the armed forces resulting from the prolonged conflict in Morocco (1909–1927), as a fundamental cause.
The book revisits traditional themes with a new approach, challenges established ideas, and introduces readers to foreign-language historiography that has been largely inaccessible to English-speaking audiences.
The nine chapters cover the war from beginning to end.
It is essential reading for students of twentieth-century Spain.
