The Spanish Civil War, a tumultuous period from 1936 to 1939, has been widely portrayed in historical narratives as a primarily political event, with the military aspect often overshadowed by the broader themes of revolution and counter-revolution in Spain during that era. However, in "The Spanish Civil War: A Military History," author Charles J. Esdaile takes a fresh and military-focused approach to the conflict. While acknowledging the political dimensions of the war, this book emphasizes the military aspects as the primary driving force behind its outbreak. Esdaile delves into the fundamental military issues that contributed to the split within the armed forces, particularly the long and grueling struggle in Morocco (1909-27).
Spanning nine chapters, "The Spanish Civil War: A Military History" offers a comprehensive examination of the war from its inception to its ultimate conclusion. Esdaile challenges traditional narratives and examines the war through a new lens, deconstructing popular epics and testing prevailing ideas. He also introduces readers to foreign-language historiography, which has previously been largely inaccessible to an anglophone audience.
By adopting this new approach, "The Spanish Civil War: A Military History" becomes an indispensable resource for students of twentieth-century Spain. It provides a deeper understanding of the conflict and its military dimensions, offering a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in Spanish history. This book is a valuable addition to the literature on the Spanish Civil War and will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and anyone with an interest in military history and contemporary Spain.
