4 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
A fresh and acclaimed account of the Spanish Civil War by the bestselling author of "Stalingrad" and "The Fall Of Berlin 1945" Beevor's"Ardennes 1944: The Battle of the Bulge"is now available from Viking Books To mark the 70th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War's outbreak, Antony Beevor has written a completely updated and revised account of one of the most bitter and hard-fought wars of the twentieth century. With new material gleaned from the Russian archives and numerous other sources, this brisk and accessible book (Spain's #1 bestseller for twelve weeks), provides a balanced and penetrating perspective, explaining the tensions that led to this terrible overture to World War II and affording new insights into the war-its causes, course, and consequences."

I didn‘t know much about the Spanish Civil War before I read. Know I‘ve learned who fought on each side:
The Republicans, fighting for the elected government, the socialists, the communists, the anarchist with support from Soviet
The Nationalists with leader Franco, the monarchists, the fascists, the church with support from Germany and Italy

As I was reading about the fighting one line from the Norwegian poet‘s Nordahl Grieg poem

AnneCecilie «Til ungdommen» (translated «To the Youth») came to my mind «Krig er forakt for liv» (translated War is contempt for life») And reading this made this clearer than ever. #foodandlit #Spain @Texreader @Catsandbooks (edited) 1mo

Another masterpiece of Antony Beevor. I was always curious about the Spanish Civil War, it's not been covered so well and visiting Spain does not help either.

chalespinosa Agree. Reason why I started reading this book. So far so good. 4y
