Its analysis is scrupulously balanced, lucid, and dispassionate.’ It mobilises a wealth of evidence from primary sources to the latest secondary literature. ‘This is a thorough and painstaking account of the Republican Army from its pre-Civil War origins to its defeat in 1939, based on years of research in archives, and correspondence and interviews with protagonists.
