Spain 1923-1948, Civil War & World War was originally published in England, 1948 to add context to the conduct of Spain under Franco during the Spanish Civil War. Arthur Loveday targeted the British political consciousness with the chief aim of helping Spain's entry into the post-war NATO Allied framework. Loveday depicts Franco as the unifying force behind a coalition of formerly left leaning Falangists and largely monarchist Requetes. According to Loveday, the Falange was gradually purged of its most ideological members during the World War. Spain is presented as having successfully distanced itself from the shadow of Fascism. Loveday's portrait of Franco's reactionary Spain appealed to Britain's desire for allies in the early years of what would become the Cold War. Loveday's work is a well-sourced and even-handed account of Spain's political and economic development in the early part of the 20th century. Spain 1923-1948, Civil War & World War is a necessary addition to the library of every scholar of mid-century European history. Visit https://www.antelopehillpublishing.com/ for more great books.

Book Description
“Mr. Thomas has understood [the Spanish Civil War] incredibly well and has written it superbly. A full, vivid and deeply serious treatment of a great subject.”—Vincent Sheean, The New York Times Book Review 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. “Stands without rivals as the most balanced and comprehensive book on the subject.”—American Historical Review

Spain, 1923-1948 Civil War and World War
Author: Arthur F. Loveday
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781953730008
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Spain 1923-1948, Civil War & World War was originally published in England, 1948 to add context to the conduct of Spain under Franco during the Spanish Civil War. Arthur Loveday targeted the British political consciousness with the chief aim of helping Spain's entry into the post-war NATO Allied framework. Loveday depicts Franco as the unifying force behind a coalition of formerly left leaning Falangists and largely monarchist Requetes. According to Loveday, the Falange was gradually purged of its most ideological members during the World War. Spain is presented as having successfully distanced itself from the shadow of Fascism. Loveday's portrait of Franco's reactionary Spain appealed to Britain's desire for allies in the early years of what would become the Cold War. Loveday's work is a well-sourced and even-handed account of Spain's political and economic development in the early part of the 20th century.
