This updated edition of Paul Preston's reference work analyzes the period of the Second Republic in Spain. Since its first edition in 1978, this book has been a fundamental work that offers a new perspective on the interaction of the mass parties of the left and right, and how the antagonistic socioeconomic interests could not be resolved in the parliamentary sphere, which led to urban and agrarian conflicts that justified the coup d'état of July 18. Throughout these pages, Preston reflects on the radicalization of the Socialist Party, the relations between parties, and the role of the military establishment in domestic politics, highlighting leaders such as Manuel Azaña, José María Gil Robles, Francisco Largo Caballero, and Francisco Franco.
Sir Paul Preston CBE is an English historian and Hispanist, biographer of Francisco Franco, and specialist in Spanish history, in particular the Spanish Civil War, which he has studied for more than 50 years. He is the winner of multiple awards for his books on the Spanish Civil War.
