In this revised edition of A Short History of the Spanish CivilWar, Julián Casanova tells the gripping story of the SpanishCivil War. Written in elegant and accessible prose, the book chartsthe most significant events and battles alongside the mainplayers in the tragedy. Casanova provides answers to someof the pressing questions (such as the roots and extent ofanticlerical violence) that have been asked in the 70 yearsthat have passed since the painful defeat of the SecondRepublic. Now with a revised introduction, Casanova offersan overview of recent historiographical shifts; not least thewielding of the conflict to political ends in certain strandsof contemporary historiography towards an alarming neo-Francoist revisionism. It is the ideal introduction to theSpanish Civil War.

Rezension:
'Julián Casanova is one of the most original and exciting historians currently working on the Spanish Civil War. His books on anarchism, the Catholic Church and the Francoist repression have earned him a glowing international reputation. This short history draws on his own research and combines his trademark reliability and readability in a book that students and general readers alike will find invaluable.' Paul Preston, Príncipe de Asturias Professor of Contemporary Spanish History, London School of Economics, UK
