Recenzje

'Originally published in Spanish in 1977 and revised in 2007, this excellent work is finally available in English. Prof Alpert (emeritus Westminster) gives us a comprehensive, sympathetic, but by no means uncritical look at a surprisingly effective 'improvised' army. … an essential read for anyone interested in the Spanish Civil War or the improvisation of military armies.'
