By the spring of 1936 an armed clash was imminent between the forces of Spain's extreme Left and extreme Right. Viewed largely as a confrontation between democracy and fascism, the resulting civil war proved to be of enormous international significance. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy intervened to assist General Franco, while the Soviet Union came to the aid of the Republican forces. This book explains the background to the war and charts the course of the nearly three-year long conflict through to General Franco's victory. Photographs and colour plates illustrate the uniforms and equipment of the Republican and Nationalist armies.
Really first rate drawings of the SCW. I am a Falange reenactor, and this book is really helpful at visuallizing what the uniforms looked like. Could it have been better yes. every books needs more. but all in all a good guide to help. I really liked the drawing of the Falange shock trooper. if you are looking for a Spanish civil war book that explains history look to a bigger book, as you will not know anything on any SCW book by page three
