Gabriel Jackson is Professor of History at the University of California at San Diego. This book was awarded the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize of the American Historical Association in 1966.
"Mr. Jackson's account of these events is altogether excellent. His
book has balance and humanity. It paints fully in depth issues that
have been hitherto brushed out lightly; the Republic's economic and
financial policies; what he calls the 'limits on suffering and
destruction' in the war itself. It is a highly readable book which
is at the same time a scholarly description of a great and grim
historic tragedy."---Raymon Carr, New York Review of Books
"It is no exaggeration to say that Jackson's book, written with a
fine and forceful combination of personal involvement and
professional detachment, is . . . the first comprehensive and
trustworthy account in English. The book is much more than a
chroicle. It is also an interpretation of the Republic's place in
Spanish history, an interpretation comparable in its excellence to
Georges LeFebvre's celebrated study of the French Revolution. We
are not likely for a long time to have a book that better deserves
the cheapened adjective definitive."---Allen Guttmann, Commentary
