The Spanish Civil War: A Cultural and Historical Reader

by Alun Kenwood (Editor)

The Spanish Civil War became the pivotal political and cultural event of the 1930s and inspired a generation of writers and artists. This book brings together an unprecedented wealth of historical and literary documents -- British, French, German, North American -- many of which have never before appeared in English translation and offers a full and balanced representation of Nationalist writing. A chronological table of events and glossary of the leading political figures and organisations is included.

Reviews

[RYD · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's nothing like the romance of the Spanish Civil War, but this book -- a collection of documentary writings -- is a little dry.

[Thomas Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very fine work for the editor to bring together a wide range of accounts from different countries, translating many of the Spanish-language texts himself.
