British historian Hugh Thomas's controversial historical study The Spanish Civil War is considered one of the most comprehensive and influential works on the bloody conflict that shook Spain between 1936 and 1939. It covers the political, social, and military aspects of the war, and provides a comprehensive overview of the events that led to the collapse of the Spanish Second Republic and the rise of Franco's dictatorship.
The first volume focuses on the causes of the conflict: deep class divisions, agrarian reforms, church power, industrial labor unrest, and polarization between left and right. Thomas describes in detail the early days of the rebellion and the chaos that followed.
The second volume is devoted to the military campaigns, the role of foreign powers (e.g. Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union), and the complex intra-republican conflicts. It depicts the fate of Spain as a battleground for ideologies that preceded World War II.
The work is distinguished by its balanced approach, rich sources, and humane portrayal of victims on both sides. Although extensive, it is read with great interest thanks to its clear style and in-depth analysis.
The book consists of two volumes.
