2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Spain at War: The Spanish Civil War in Context 1931-1939 (Paperback)

Unfortunately a very superficial and biased account of that violent conflict. The authors often omit important facts to further their own idealogical agenda (pro-Republican in this case.)One cannot help but recieve the impression that the authors fail to fully comprehend and analyze certain key aspects and motivations involved (Carlism or the violence and character of the Republican religious persecution are notable examples.)The bibliography is useful but fails to include the groundbreaking and fresh scholarship of Warren Carroll and some others on the topic. This book is of very limited value to the serious student of the period (1931-1939).
