An exhaustive compilation of all the existing bibliography on the Spanish Civil War, a task to which the author devoted more than twenty years. Citing silenced left-wing authors, foreign historiographers and exposing the manipulation carried out by pro-Franco authors, this work demystifies Franco's crusade and revises the arguments of those who were sympathetic to the regime. Originally published in French by Ruedo Ibérico in France in 1963, and in Spain more than twenty years later, this classic has lost none of its vigour or rigour.
