In War and Revolution in Catalonia, 1936-1939 , Pelai Pag©·s i Blanch analyses the political and military evolution of the events in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War: the street battles that defeated the military rebellion; the social revolution that pervaded all levels of Catalonia's politics, economy, and culture; the gradual erosion of workers' power, culminating in the May Events; and Catalonia's eventual fall to Franco's forces. Pag©·s i Blanch demonstrates the extent to which the war was lost when the Republican leaders, in order to ?unify ? the left against Franco and fascism, turned their backs on the social revolution. This translation of Pag©·s i Blanch's landmark study is the first full-length monograph in English to focus on Catalonia's experience during the war.
