War and Revolution in Catalonia, 1936-1939

This pathbreaking book analyses the political and military evolution of events in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. Offering a detailed account of the social revolution that pervaded all levels of Catalonia, it carefully documents the extent to which the war was lost when the Republican leaders turned their back on this revolution in the name of 'unity' against Franco.
