La guerra civil no fue sólo un episodio crucial en la historia contemporánea de España, marcó un punto de inflexión en la conciencia del mundo occidental, anticipando el enfrentamiento entre el progreso y la reacción, entre el totalitarismo y la democracia. El libro de Hugh Thomas es un estudio clásico en la extensa bibliografía que la guerra española ha suscitado, una de las primeras obras a cuya amplitud y rigor se unen la claridad y la ponderación. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: "Mr. Thomas has understood [the Spanish Civil War] incredibly well and has written it superbly. A full, vivid and deeply serious treatment of a great subject." . "Stands without rivals as the most balanced and comprehensive book on the subject.". HTML:A masterpiece of the historian's art, Hugh Thomas's The Spanish Civil War remains the best, most engrossing narrative of one of the most emblematic and misunderstood wars of the twentieth century. Revised and updated with significant new material, including new revelations about atrocities perpetrated against civilians by both sides in this epic conflict, this "definitive work on the subject" (Richard Bernstein, The New York Times) has been given a fresh face forty years after its initial publication in 1961. In brilliant, moving detail, Thomas analyzes a devastating conflict in which the hopes, dreams, and dogmas of a century exploded onto the battlefield. Like no other account, The Spanish Civil War dramatically reassembles the events that led a European nation, in a continent on the brink of world war, to divide against itself, bringing into play the machinations of Franco and Hitler, the bloodshed of Guernica, and the deeply inspiring heroics of those who rallied to the side of democracy. Communists, anarchists, monarchists, fascists, socialists, democrats -- the various forces of the Spanish Civil War composed a fabric of the twentieth century itself, and Thomas masterfully weaves the diffuse and fascinating threads of the war together in a manner that has established the book as a genuine classic of modern history. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
