Books on the Revolutionary Spain

[Jacky Hearts]

Could anybody advise on any books which provide an introduction to the Spanish Civil War/Revolution? Preferably something in just a few hundred pages as my reading list before I go to uni is pretty damn huge already.

I know of some small books but they are about the anarchists. You probably want something on the over all war?

Well my interest over it was sparked by the anarchists, but yeah, I'd like to get an overstanding of it overall before focusing on them specifically.

"The Battle For Spain: the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939" by Antony Beevor.

I've read a few books on the conflict but that was the best. It's a readable but well-researched book.

There's always the famous Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell. It's a very influential book on how many people perceive Revolutionary Catalonia.

Super right wing though.
