Opis

This text explores the long term background and European context of the war, The Second Republic, and Franco's dictatorship. It also discusses the larger themes of monarchism, revolution and fascism, and draws parallels with the experiences of other countries in the modern era. Using a range of material including literature, art and film, the author presents a clear evaluation of the political, social and cultural dimensions of the conflict and the ramifications of this internecine conflict to the 1990s.
