Description: Since its first publication, *The Spanish Civil War* has become established as the definitive one-volume hisotry of a conflict that continues to provoke intense controversy today. What was it that roused left-wing sympathizers from all over the world to fight against Franco between 1936 and 1939? Whay did the British and US governments refuse to intervene? And why did the Republican cause collapse so violently? Now revised and updated, Hught Thomas's classic account presents the most objetive and unbiased analysis of a passionate struggle where fascism and democracy, communism and Catholicism were at stake —and whith was as much an international war as a Spanish one.
