The Spanish Civil War became the pivotal political and cultural event of the 1930s and inspired a generation of writers and artists. This book brings together an unprecedented wealth of historical and literary documents -- British, French, German, North American -- many of which have never before appeared in English translation and offers a full and balanced representation of Nationalist writing. A chronological table of events and glossary of the leading political figures and organisations is included.

Industry Reviews

" ... a fascinating book about one of the most cruel periods of Spanish history...makes very enjoyable reading because of its clarity, and the way in which it reveals the often obscured facts of war." --British Bulletin of Publications
