For nearly 100 years up to 1936, Spain had hovered on the edge of civil war as the traditional powers of Church, Monarch and Army failed to cope with the problems of a world power in decline. Strong factions developed and the author shows how inherent disintegration was a major cause of the Republicans' eventual defeat. He also discusses the extent of international intervention, and how Germany, blatantly fighting on the Fascist side experimented with new machines and techniques in anticipation of the Second World War.
