The troops of the extreme right fought against those of the extreme left, and the soldiers and military hardware of Germany, Italy, and Russia faced off on Spanish battlefields many years before they fought each other on the Russian steppes. For the first time, the world would see bombings of civilians to create terror. There were secret police forces on both sides and large numbers of arbitrary executions, and the use of imprisonment without trial and torture as a means of establishing state power became almost routine.But the Spanish Civil War was much more than just an overture to World War II. It was a war born out of schisms in Spanish society between rich and poor, monarchists and Republicans, the right and the left, and between those who supported the church and those who saw it as an instrument of oppression. For all its brutality and horror, the Spanish Civil War was a conflict between ideals often fought by volunteers on each side who truly believed that they were helping to build a better world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInside you will read about...✓ Taking Positions\u003cbr\u003e✓ Outside Intervention\u003cbr\u003e✓ The Terror\u003cbr\u003e✓ Nationalists Triumphant in the North\u003cbr\u003e✓ The Republicans Fight Back\u003cbr\u003e✓ The End of the War\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnd much more \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book provides an overview of the causes which led to the war, the significance of outside intervention, and the main events which took place between July 1936 and April 1939.
