Description: 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.
