I have had an interest in history since I was a kid and thought this book would be an interesting read.  I was not disappointed. The author has a concise and fluid writing style which makes the book fun and easy to read.  The chapters are not too long so that you can easily finish a chapter if you need to engage in other activities and return later.The Spanish Civil War in an informative read for students of history in general but European history in particular.  The author's writing style is characterized by readability that communicates the history of this interesting period clearly.Like most civil wars, the country was devastated by the conflict.  The war preceded WWII and it was interesting to read about the instability in the 1930s that preceded the war that later devastated Europe.If you are a history buff or student and want an enjoyable  and quick read this is it.  The book contains important lessons regarding the historical events of the Spanish Civil War but also contiguous historical events.  This part of history had greater significant and importance than I first realized; this is a great read.
