The Spanish Civil War

“A monumental book. . . . [Bolloten’s] style is chaste and his objectivity laudable.”—Anthony Burgess, Los Angeles Times Book Review

“The Spanish Civil War: Revolution and Counterrevolution is a monument of dedicated scholarship that is not likely to be replaced. The best study of the subject in any language, it merits a place beside Gerald Brenan’s The Spanish Labyrinth and Raymond Carr’s Spain, 1808-1939, as a classic in the historiography of modern Spain.”—Paul Avrich, Queens College, City University of New York

“There is no doubt whatsoever that this will stand as the definitive study of politics in republican Spain during the Spanish Civil War. The research is exhaustive, the treatment objective, and the interpretations and conclusions convincing.”—Stanley G. Payne, University of Wisconsin-Madison

“Burnett Bolloten’s completed opus stands alone. . . . Scholars will welcome it as a work by an individual of great integrity who took the time and the effort to tell all the story.” — Joan Connelly Ullman, University of Washington
