Decades on, this remains the definitive volume on Britain and the Spanish Civil War. It is widely cited as such, and its argumentation is frequently adapted by subsequent scholars of the topic. The Civil War is introduced as an event which had a striking impact on the British consciousness at all levels and which was a major consideration in foreign policy in its time. Britain's non-intervention policy sees detailed analysis and consideration, with the contentious historiography of this particular area receiving due treatment. The book then discusses British aid (formal and informal), the issue of volunteers, and the perspectives of intellectuals and the religious. Everything is amply contextualised amidst changes in government, the policy of appeasement, and the geopolitical situation in Europe. I could not recommend this more if you are interested in learning about Britain's role in the Spanish Civil War! ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
No foreign conflict has had a greater impact on modern British politics than the Spanish Civil War (1936-9). More than other conflicts of the 1930s in Abyssinia and China, or more recent wars in Vietnam and Bosnia, the Spanish Civil War served to galvanise political activity in Britain, in support both of the Republican government and of Franco's Nationalist rebels. Familiar aspects, such as the role of the British government, the intellectuals, and the International Brigades are reinterpreted alongside the first detailed accounts of previously neglected subjects such as right-wing and religious opinion. In addition, Buchanan shows how the Civil War acted not only as a symbol of anti-fascism for the Left, but also as a positive example of a 'New Spain' arising from the ashes of the old. Many archival sources are used to offer a stimulating interpretation of a subject of great significance to twentieth-century Britain. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
