Reviews

"[Stanley Payne is] America's most prolific historian of Spain." --Paul Preston, New York Times Book Review

"Payne's scope in this book is very impressive. The totality of the political and social struggle during this period is his greatest success--the Second Republic as a process." --Robert Kern, University of New Mexico
