What to expect
Antony Beevor's account narrates the origins of the Civil War and its violent and dramatic course from the coup d'etat in July 1936 through the savage fighting of the next three years which ended in catastrophic defeat for the Republicans in 1939. And he succeeds especially well in unravelling the complex political and regional forces that played such an important part in the origins and history of the war.

Critics Review
-
Fascination lies in the human drama, superbly captured by Beevor … a vivid chronicle of a dreadful time and place
Sunday Times -
In many ways it’s his most impressive book to date because he coolly makes sense of such a complicated story: the narrative sweep is consummate, the seamless use of so many sources masterful, and the eye for details makes it a superb read
Mail on Sunday -
An admirably clear-sighted account … a great achievement
Daily Telegraph -
A moving masterpiece of the indictment of war
Times Literary Supplement -
A gripping, revelatory account
Sunday Telegraph -
This is an enthralling book. The narrative is masterly, wonderfully clear as a guide through the labyrinth. It is even-tempered and full of good sense … It is admirable
