I’m currently doing research on Italian and German intervention in the Spanish Civil War. I’ve been searching for the book named in the article, i.e. ‘The Spanish Civil War’, but I’ve only been able to find ‘La Guerra Civil Española’ (published by Debolsillo). The closest thing to ‘The Spanish Civil War’ that I’ve seen in English is ‘A Concise History of the Spanish Civil War’ (published by HarperCollins).

Is ‘A Concise History of the Spanish Civil War’ the book referred to or is ‘The Spanish Civil War’ only available in the Spanish translation?

I’d be very grateful if someone could clarify this for me.

Thank you.

[April 29, 2008] This information is easily available online, e.g., at the mentioned Prof. Preston's webpage at LSE or at any online bookseller. I have amended the book title and included a newer publication from 2006. However, the previous quoted sentences should be checked, or perhaps just erased, since they referred to a book that apparently does not exist (or its title was given incorrectly).

"La Guerra Civil Española"

Yes, "The Spanish Civil War" would be the translation of the title of the Spanish publication (more than one edition), but my understanding is that the Spanish text is a tranlation of the "Concise History..". --Alan (talk) 05:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
