«El colapso de la República» is the historical essay by Stanley G. Payne, published by La Esfera de los Libros, S.L. in paperback (664 pages, in Spanish).
The historian studies how the Second Republic collapsed between 1933 and 1936 and what led to the Civil War, focusing on the preceding months. He analyses the divisions within socialism, rural conflict, police action, attacks on the Church, the electoral system, and problems such as landless peasants and low wages.
Translation by María Pilar López Pérez. Original title: «The Collapse of the Spanish Republic, 1933-1936: Origins of the Civil War».
Reference work for those interested in the history of Spain and the republican period before the Civil War.
Stanley G. Payne is an American academic and historian, specialized in the history of modern Spain and European fascist movements at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He retired from full-time teaching in 2004 and is currently Professor Emeritus at its Department of History. His works on the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist period received various estimates: while by the 1980s he had earned the reputation of "America's most prolific historian of Spain", in the 21st century his later works became known for their "revisionist" approach, and received criticism from other historians as overly benevolent towards Falangism and for allegedly spreading Francoist narratives. However, other historians have praised Payne's work in the 21st century. In 2018, Julius Ruiz praised Payne's 2017 work Alcala Zamora and the Failure of the Spanish Republic.
