The Spanish Republic and the Civil War, 1931-1939

Among the many books dedicated to the history of the Second Spanish Republic and the Civil War, Gabriel Jackson's book stands out for two reasons: for being the result of ten years of research and for offering a balanced view of the events, avoiding the prejudices of the extreme right and the extreme left (which did not prevent it from being banned in Spain until the death of General Franco). Both qualities make it still the best overview of those crucial years in the history of contemporary Spain.

First sentence: THE Spanish Republic of 1931 was born of a unique set of circumstances: a long-term political crisis, the conjunction of domestic economic problems with the world depression, and an intellectual renaissance of great vigor and optimism.
