The Spanish Civil War / By Hugh Thomas

The events, participants, and consequences of the civil war are examined from historical as well as diplomatic, military, and political perspectives. A masterpiece of the historian's art, Hugh Thomas's The Spanish Civil War remains the best, most engrossing narrative of one of the most emblematic and misunderstood wars of the twentieth century. Revised and updated with significant new material, including new revelations about atrocities perpetrated against civilians by both sides in this epic conflict, this "definitive work on the subject" (Richard Bernstein, The New York Times) has been given a fresh face forty years after its initial publication in 1961. In brilliant, moving detail, Thomas analyzes a devastating conflict in which the hopes, dreams, and dogmas of a century exploded onto the battlefield. Like no other account, The Spanish Civil War dramatically reassembles the events that led a European nation, in a continent on the brink of world war, to divide against itself, bringing into play the machinations of Franco and Hitler, the bloodshed of Guernica, and the deeply inspiring heroics of those who rallied to the side of democracy. Communists, anarchists, monarchists, fascists, socialists, democrats, the various forces of the Spanish Civil War composed a fabric of the twentieth century itself, and Thomas masterfully weaves the diffuse and fascinating threads of the war together in a manner that has established the book as a genuine classic of modern history.

  • "Dans cet ouvrage, publié pour la première fois en anglais en 1961, l'historien britannique tente une analyse objective d'un conflit dans lequel s'affrontèrent à la fois le fascisme et la démocratie, le communisme et le christianisme, le centralisme et le régionalisme, et qui fut une guerre internationale tout autant qu'espagnole."

  • ""La guerra civil no fue solo un episodio crucial en la historia contemporanea de Espanan, marco un punto de inflexion en la conciencia del mundo occidental, anticipando el enfrentamiento entre el progreso y la reaccion, entre el totalitarismo y la democracia. El libro de Hugh Thomas es un estudio clasico en la extensa bibliografia que la guerra espanola ha suscitado, una de las primeras obras a cuya amplitud y rigor se unen la claridad y la ponderacion. En este segundo volumen, que se inicia en noviembre de 1936 con la batalla de Madrid, se examina la evolucion militar y politica de la contienda, y la derrota de la Republica."
