The Spanish Civil War: A Military History takes a new, military approach to the conflict that tore Spain apart from 1936 to 1939.
In many histories, the war has been treated as a primarily political event with the military narrative subsumed into a much broader picture of the Spain of 1936¿9 in which the chief themes are revolution and counter-revolution. While remaining conscious of the politics of the struggle, this book looks at the war as above all a military event, and as one in whose outbreak specifically military issues ¿ particularly the split in the armed forces produced by the long struggle in Morocco (1909¿27) ¿ were fundamental. Across nine chapters that consider the war from beginning to endgame, Charles J. Esdaile revisits traditional themes from a new perspective, deconstructs many epics and puts received ideas to the test, as well as introducing readers to foreign-language historiography that has previously been largely inaccessible to an anglophone audience.
In taking this new approach, The Spanish Civil War: A Military History is essential reading for all students of twentieth-century Spain.
