Fantastic thread!
Eddie, I think you have hit the nail on the head with your posts.
Wolf, my favorite historian of Spain is from your neck of the woods, Stanley G. Payne. I have encountered a great link with the complete text of his
A History of Spain and Portugal Vol.2 . chapters 25 and 26, it gives a nice overview of Spain during the Civil War.
Stanley Payne Payne has written several voulmes on Spanish history, unfortunately this is the only one I could find on the web. If you are researching Spanish history, his texts are a must.
Saludos,
Shawn
