Summary note

"The Spanish Civil War has long been approached by historians as single, self-contained event and as a dichotomous conflict between Christianity and atheism, fascism and democracy, capitalism and socialism. The Spanish Civil War: A Modern Tragedy, the first book on the subject to combine an integrative analysis with primary source material, moves beyond this one-dimensional, reductionist view to examine it as a multifaceted, heterogeneous conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
