Zusatztext The Spanish Civil War has been the subject of a veritable blizzard of general texts. Until now, however, no-one has thought to present it in the context of the Carlist Wars of the nineteenth century. As Mark Lawrence shows, however, there are some extraordinary parallels, these reminding us that the Civil War was a product not just of the 1930s but also of a much wider range of Spanish history. Informationen zum Autor Mark Lawrence is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Kent, UK. He is the author of several books, including Spain’s First Carlist War, 1833-40 (2014)and The Spanish Civil Wars (2017, Bloomsbury Academic), which was translated into Spanish as well as being named a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title. Vorwort Compares the domestic and international nature as well as the impact of Spain’s First Carlist War (1833-40) and the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Zusammenfassung CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2017 This book provides a comparative history of the domestic and international nature of Spain’s First Carlist War (1833-40) and the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), as well as the impact of both conflicts.The book demonstrates how and why Spain’s struggle for liberty was won in the 1830s only for it to be lost one hundred years later. It shows how both civil wars were world wars in miniature, fought in part by foreign volunteers under the gaze and in the political consciousness of the outside world.Prefaced by a short introduction, The Spanish Civil Wars is arranged into two domestic and international sections, each with three thematic chapters comparing each civil war in detail. The main analytical perspectives are political, social and new military history in nature, but they also explore aspects of gender, culture, nationalism and separatism, economy, religion and, especially, the war in its international context. The book integrates international archival research with the latest scholarship on both subjects and also includes a glossary, a bibliography and several images.It is a key resource tailored to the needs of students and scholars of modern Spain which offers an intriguing and original new perspective on the Spanish Civil War.
