"Hell and Good Company is characteristically pacy, vivid and emotive. It reliably conveys the conflict's broad outlines for those who know nothing about the bloody 1936-39 war between the leftist Republican government and the insurgent Nationalist forces of Francisco Franco, while adding enough well-sourced fresh material to interest those more familiar with its horrors... Mr. Rhodes succeeds in re-animating familiar scenarios. His solidly researched account of the initially hesitant, even reluctant gestation of Picasso's "Guernica," in particular, makes thrilling reading."--Wall Street Journal
