The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:

Lest I repeat what others have already written so well (and so many times), I will just affirm that this book is mainly up to Beevor's usual standard. Beevor has done us a great service in writing it as well, because the Spanish Civil War is probably one of the more poorly understood wars of the... more info
