About this title: The Spanish Civil War is a compelling account of one of the most hard-fought and bitter wars of the twentieth century: a war of atrocities and political genocide that was a military testing ground before the Second World War for the Russians, Italians, and Germans. With his thorough and contemporary examination of the Spanish civil war, historian Antony Beevor unravels the complex events from the coup d'etat which started the war in July of 1936 to the final defeat of the Republicans in 1939. This highly readable account leaves out none of the familiar aspects, exploring them with a clear eye ...

"Antony Beevor is an excellent historian and this book is no exception - indeed, it is one of the most lucid and thoughtful accounts of the Spanish Civil War and the main players on both sides of the conflict. This edition makes full use of new research on the conflict, and allows Beevor to show the reader the convoluted power struggles that both the Nationalists and the Republicans undertook against their enemies, both internal and external. I highly recommend this book to both the historian and the general reader."
"An excellent analysis of a conflict in which the Spanish people are the filling in a sandwich, the slices comprising a fight between the extreme right and extreme left. To make matters worse, as is well known, the conflict became the testing ground for Hitler and Stalin to play with their toys of war. The book is well constructed, and very readable, suffering only from the author's mild tendency to repeat the lessons he wishes the reader to retain, in a schoolmasterish fashion. Although the book is harrowing, given the human tragedy, the fact that Juan Carlos, hand-picked by Franco to rule as a royal dictator, moved the country rapidly towards full democracy, provides a profoundly satisfying conclusion. Today Spain is a great success, and to this I can only say Viva Espana!"
"Many seem to think Beevor is a genius, and he may well be as far as his research and insight are concerned, but god help me if I can see it, since reading him is agony to me. This is the 3rd book of his I've read (after Stalingrad and Berlin) and I find his style to be so stilted and convoluted that reading anything he's written is an exercise in pain.
No more Mr. Beevor for me; life is far too short."
