The landmark history, updated with new material and illustrations

This monumental book offers a comprehensive history and analysis of Republican political life during the Spanish Civil War. Completed by Burnett Bolloten just before his death in 1987 and first published in English in 1991, The Spanish Civil War is the culmination of fifty years of dedicated and painstaking research and is the most exhaustive study on the subject in any language. It has been regarded as the authoritative political history of the war and an indispensable encyclopedic guide to Republican affairs during the Spanish conflict.

This new edition includes a new introduction by Spanish Civil War scholar George Esenwein, an updated bibliography featuring books on the Spanish Civil War published since 1987, and seventy-three photos of the war’s participants.

Burnett Bolloten (1909–1987) was a United Press correspondent in Spain during the war, during which he began his lifelong practice of collecting original documents relating to the conflict. By invitation, he was a lecturer and director of research on the Spanish Civil War and revolution, for three years, at the Institute for Hispanic and Lusa-Brazilian Studies at Stanford University.

George Esenwein has published numerous articles and two books on the Spanish Civil War. He teaches at the University of Florida.

“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
