    IMPRESSIVE Study of  a Forgotten War, considered irrelevant  and the Dire implications,
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015*

The  photo on the cover of  the book showing a ME 109 Fighter Plane making a hair raising ground pass exemplifies this impressive study of  the Spanish Civil War  in striking detail. There are few studies on the Spanish Civil War, possibly because of the lack of interest in the subject, generated by observers there  that complained nothing was learned from it. Mr. Antony Beevor  reexamining  of the Spanish Civil War provides a  different aspect,, that  reveals the shocking developments thatoccurred and the implications of that War that transcended it.Well Written , without Hype or Hysteria , of the Political , and Military  events.Mr. Beevor  provides the interesting  details of  battle , such as why Mosquito Hill was called Mosquito Hill, because of the sound the Bullets made.Mr. Beevor also includes key unit information about weapons and equipment, the German Heinkel 51  WW I type Bi Plane,  that was then replaced by the ME 109 in mid 1937 to address the performance imbalance against Russian Fighters.The Spanish Civil War received little recognition , in terms of Historical Relevance, Mr. Beevors The Spanish Civil War addresses thislapse  in  Decisive Historical Studies,, of Political, Military History that are of paramount importance in World Events.

    Extremely effective history of a forgotten war...
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2003*

The Spanish Civil War, by Anthony Beevor, is a fairly detailed survey of the history of this occasionally confusing period.  Beevor spends a few chapters giving much needed historical background.  The detail is necessary but a little dry and perhaps exhaustive to read as an introduction.  The social and economic history of Spain is dealt with in enough detail to put the civil war in context.  After covering the events leading up to the war, the bulk of the book is devoted to a very detailed, more or less chronological history of the war itself.The events leading the to defeat of the Spanish Republic are sometimes referred to as a civil war within a civil war.  Much attention is paid to distinguishing the various factions and personalities on both sides of the war. The Carlists, the Falange, PUOM, the Communists, the anarchists, et al, are all dealt with in detail so the reader is never really confused about how their aims, and why they did what they did. Beevor also spends time discussing regional differences among various factions.  Lots of attention is paid to how the Republican forces were consumed largely from within, and how the various Nationalist factions also suffered some degree of discord.. In the end, fractionalization of Republican forces, Soviet style purges, a Communist take-over and just plain bad military and political leadership led to their inevitable defeat.Beevor is dispassionate in his treatment of both sides.  There's no real moralizing: I saw no obvious agenda.  Instead, he gives detailed descriptions of the agendas, excesses and strengths and weaknesses of all sides and factions.Against all of this was the background of foreign intervention. Again, Beevor goes into detail about the German, Italian and Russian interventions, and the lessons learned (or not learned) by each. The book also covers the incredible failure of the European and American democracies to do anything stop the war, and the hypocrisy involved in all their policies vis-a-vis Spain and the treatment of the various factions.Overall, this book is an excellent history of the war. The detail is thorough enough to make some parts a little slow to read. All sides are covered in detail, with no evident political agenda. Events are covered in extreme detail and all the factions are thoroughly explained.  I would not call this the `definitive' history of the war, but this is an excellent, detailed overview and a must read for anybody interested in this period.
