España desde México
Acercamiento y rechazo, trauma y fusión al fin, es, en síntesis, la historia del encuentro de lo hispánico con lo mexicano. Son muchas, y muy diversas entre sí, las formas de presencia hispánica en la realidad integral de México. De ellas hay una, todavía reciente, que tal vez cuenta entre los acercamientos más significativos y fecundos: la inmigración republicana como consecuencia de la guerra civil en España. Esta rica presencia humana, hasta hoy actuante, es singular y única en la historia de ambos países, por el número de los que se fueron y vinieron y, sobre todo, por la preparación que poseía una gran parte de ellos. Su huella ha sido profunda en el México contemporáneo y hoy es asunto de interés para españoles y mexicanos. La profesora Ascensión Hernández, con el manejo de fuentes escritas y charlas directas con los protagonistas, nos ofrece un rico y variado friso de la historia reciente de España desde América y, muy específicamente, desde México.

The Spanish Military and Warfare from 1899 to the Civil War
This book explores the attitudes of the Spanish army officer corps towards the evolution of warfare during the early decades of the twentieth century, and their influence on the armies of the Spanish Civil War. It examines how the Spanish military coped with technological innovations such as the machine gun and the tank, how it adapted the army ́s battlefield doctrine to changes in warfare before the Civil War, and the influence of this doctrine on the outcome of the conflict. Of the different armed forces that fought in the Spanish Civil War, it is paradoxically the Spanish army that remains most forgotten - especially its military doctrine. Scholarship on the Spanish military in this period focuses on its politics, ideology and institutional reforms, touching upon 'hard' professional issues only superficially, if at all. Based on original research and using largely unstudied Spanish primary sources, this book fills a major scholarly gap in the history of the Spanish army and the Spanish Civil War.
Spain Betrayed
"Spain Betrayed provides full documentation of the Soviets' activities during the Spanish Civil War. Documents in the book reveal that the Soviet Union not only swindled the Spanish Republic out of millions of dollars through arms deals but also sought to take over and run the Spanish economy, government, and armed forces in order to make Spain a Soviet possession, thereby effectively destroying the foundations of authentic Spanish antifascism. The documents also shed light on many other disputed episodes of the war: the timing of the Republican request for assistance from the Soviet Union; the rise and fall of the International Brigades; the internal workings of the Comintern and its influence on Spain; and much more."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939
This is a long-awaited translation of a definitive account of the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. Michael Alpert examines the origins, formation and performance of the Republican Army and sets the Spanish Civil War in its broader military context. He explores the conflicts between communists and Spanish anarchists about how the war should be fought, as well as the experience of individual conscripts, problems of food, clothing and arms, and the role of women in the new army. The book contains extensive discussion of international aspects, particularly the role of the International Brigades and of the Soviet Russian advisers. Finally, it discusses the final uprising of professional Republican officers against the Government and the almost unconditional surrender to Franco. Professor Alpert also provides detailed statistics for the military forces available to Franco and to the Republic, and biographies of the key figures on both sides.
