The book 'The Collapse of the Republic: The Origins of the Civil War (1933-1936)' by Stanley G. Payne, published by La Esfera de los Libros, deeply analyzes the causes that led to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. It focuses on the study of the six months prior to the war, examining the work of the various sectors of the socialist movement, the rivalry between them, the Government's security policy, and the role played by the police. This paperback edition has 672 pages and is written in Spanish.
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.
