Well written and offers a different perspective on the Spanish Civil War.--Balkan Wargamer The People's Army in the Spanish Civil War is exceptional, it is accessible in that it spans the divide between academic and populist publications. It can be read by anyone as the History teacher here presents the information in a way that is clear, but challenging. The chapter structure and style of writing make the reading of this volume a pleasure, the chapters are distinct units, part of a larger unit, one has the feeling of fulfilment on reaching the end of a chapter. It is usual to impose a qualification on recommendation, limiting the recommendation to a particular grouping of people. In this case this would be unnecessary, for experts on, and novices to, the topic will get something from this publication. - Tony Fox, The Battlefields Trust, March 2020 A meticulously researched analysis of the Republican and Nationalist armies... if you have a serious interest in the topic you will want to read this book. - Historical Novels Review
