| 4. | The Spanish Civil War: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Paperback (176 pages) by Helen Graham (Oxford University Press, USA)
Amid the many catastrophes of the twentieth century, the Spanish Civil War continues to exert a particular fascination among history buffs and the lay-reader alike. This Very Short Intoduction integrates the political, social and cultural history of the Spanish Civil War. It sets out the domestic and international context of the war for a general readership. In addition to tracing the course of war, the book locates the war's origins in the cumulative social and cultural anxieties provoked by a process of rapid, uneven and accelerating modernism taking place all over Europe. This shared context is key to the continued sense of the war's importance. The book also examines the myriad of political polemics to which the war has given rise, as well as all of the latest historical debates. It assesses the impact of the war on Spain's transition to democracy and on the country's contemporary political culture.

| 6. | The Spanish Civil War: 1936-1939 (Essential Histories)
Paperback (96 pages) by Frances Lannon (Osprey Publishing)
The Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 was of enormous international as well as national significance. In this gripping volume, Frances Lannon explains how this internal conflict between democracy and its enemies escalated to involve Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union. We go behind the scenes to find out the true story of the bitter fighting within the sides, not just between them. The experiences of the men and women caught up in the fighting are highlighted. For them, and for a world on the brink of the Second World War, the stakes were agonisingly high.

| 9. | The Spanish Civil War 1936-39 (Men-at-Arms)
Paperback (48 pages) by Patrick Turnbull (Osprey Publishing)
By the spring of 1936 it was becoming increasingly evident that Spain was heading for an armed clash between the forces of the extreme Left, led by 'Largo Caballero' – who, backed by the ultras and their militia groups intended to impose a Stalin-type Communist government – and the extreme Right: a clique of high-ranking army officers led by veteran General Sanjurjo, who planned a similar coup and counted on the support of anti-Communist, Catholic and traditionalist elements of all classes of society. Patrick Turnbull's authoritative text tells the remarkable story of the Spanish Civil War 1936-39, from its beginnings to its dramatic conclusion.
