Reviews
"[A] monumental book. . . . [Bolloten's] style is chaste and his objectivity laudable."--Anthony Burgess, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Burnett Bolloten's 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
