No modern conflict has inflamed the passions of both civilians and intellectuals as much as the Spanish Civil War of 1936?39. Burned into our collective historical consciousness, it not only prefigured the imminent Second World War but also ushered in a new and horrific form of warfare that would come to define the twentieth century. At the same time it echoed the revolutionary aspirations of millions of Europeans and Americans after the painful years of the Great Depression. This is a FINE text copy with no major faults.* 0
