Author Description

The causes and profound ramifications of the Spanish Civil War continue to intrigue fifty years after its outbreak. Spain in Conflict 1931-39 provides new evidence about Spanish political development during that period and offers a valuable re-evaluation of a tragic episode in twentieth-century history. The contributors investigate three major areas of concern: the gradual fragmentation of Republicanism and the Left, the coalescence of conservative and right-wing interests and the impact of foreign financial involvement in the war.
