A European Anabasis

Kenneth Estes studies the 100,000 West Europeans who fought against Russia as volunteers for the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. A retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, Estes shows tremendous knowledge of combat and writes gripping battlefield prose. Two-thirds of the West European volunteers came from Spain and the Netherlands, yet Estes demonstrates wide range and covers Flemish, Walloon, French, Danish, and Norwegian combat units. Avoiding over-generalization, the author distinguishes carefully among the Danes and Flemings who fought competently with the SS-Wiking Division and later with Nordland, the courageous but poorly-armed Spanish, the ill-trained Dutch and French in Landstorm Nederland...

A Military History of Modern Spain

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Spain was a key player in the military conflagrations that created modern Europe. From the Napoleonic Wars, through the dress rehearsal for World War II that was the Spanish Civil War, to the grim struggle against terrorism today, the military history of modern Spain has both shaped and reflected larger forces beyond its borders. This volume traces the course of Spanish military history, primarily during the 20th century. Chapter 1 provides the foundation for the role of the Spanish Army at home (the War of Independence [Napoleonic War], the Carlist Wars, and pronunciamientos), abroad (Morocco, 1859-60), and as an instrument for Liberal reforms in Spain. Chapt...

L'Ouest saharien

Cet ouvrage explore les valeurs tribales et leur dimension identitaire dont la prise en compte est indispensable pour trouver des solutions au conflit du Sahara espagnol, issu de la décolonisation. L’étude souligne qu’au lieu de revenir à la base, l’ONU est partie d’en haut, ignorant les droits des Sahraouis absents des listes espagnoles de 1974, seules considérées comme le référentiel identitaire. L’identification des votants au référendum d’autodétermination des populations du Sahara occidental est en effet la condition du règlement de ce conflit, nécessitant la définition des tribus du Wad Nun et de la Sagiya al-Hamra. Pour distinguer ces deux régions, situées a...

La guerra que enfrentó a España y Marruecos en 1957 y 1958 se desarrolló en dos escenarios bien diferentes, Ifni y el Sáhara Occidental. Fue una contienda oscura, ocultada en su desarrollo y consecuencias a la callada y sufrida opinión pública de la España de los años cincuenta del siglo pasado. Cuando comenzaron los combates las fuerzas armadas no estaban en realidad en condiciones de librar una guerra moderna, ni siquiera contra un ejército irregular y a poca distancia de la metrópoli. A pesar de ello, a base de coraje y sacrificio se detuvo el ataque marroquí y se expulsó a los invasores de territorio español. La presente obra es un pequeño intento para acercar a todo tipo d...

Combining military, political, cultural, social, and oral history, Sebastian Balfour narrates for the first time the development of a brutalised, interventionist army that played a crucial role in the victory of the Francoists in the Spanish Civil War. Spain's new colonial venture in Morocco in the early twentieth-century turned into a bloody war against the tribes resisting the Spanish invasion of their lands. After suffering a succession of heavy military disasters against some of the most accomplished guerrillas in the world, the Spanish army turned to chemical warfare and dropped massive quantities of mustard gas on civilians. Dr Balfour exposes this previously closely guarded secret usi...

Franzosen, Briten und Deutsche im Rifkrieg 1921-1926

Der Rifkrieg (1921-1926) in Nordmarokko ist von der deutschen Geschichtsschreibung nur wenig beachtet worden, und dies obwohl Deutschland in vielfältiger Weise an den Geschehnissen beteiligt war. Mohammed ben Abdelkrim el Khattabi alias Abdelkrim schaffte es, die zerstrittenen Rifkabylen zu vereinen und aus der Widerstandsbewegung gegen die spanischen Invasoren die 1923 proklamierte "Rif-Republik" erwachsen zu lassen. Dirk Sasse geht den deutschen, britischen und französischen Helfern Abdelkrims nach – Ärzten, Technikern usw. –, die zu einer schleichenden Verlängerung des Krieges beitrugen, aber auch bei der vorgesehenen Modernisierung des Landes mithelfen sollten. Sein Buch ist ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Dekolonisation und zur Geschichte der Vernetzung zwischen der außereuropäischen Bevölkerung und antikolonial eingestellten Sympathisanten in Europa.
