A profound study of one of the key conflicts of the 20th century: less a chronicle of events than a comprehensive scholarly "biography of the war." The author's goal is to explain why Spain in the 1930s became the arena of class, ideological, and international conflict. Preston shows how political forces—from anarchists to monarchists—fought for their own visions of justice, how and why the intervention of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and other countries turned a domestic war into a prelude and dress rehearsal for World War II, and predetermined its form. How the extermination of entire social groups became the meaning and purpose of that war—and how the far-sighted Franco, while shaping his model for post-war Spain, deliberately destroyed the historical memory of the losers. The author reveals various "truths" and explains why the war, formally over, continues to this day—and is relevant far beyond the Spaniards themselves.
