The Collapse of the Spanish Republic, 1933-1936: Origins of the Civil War
Stanley G. Payne
Abstract
This book, which focuses on the short but crucial period that led to the collapse of the Spanish Republic and set the stage for the ensuing civil war, details the political shifts which occurred from 1933 to 1936 and examines the actions and inactions of key actors during these years. Using their own memoirs, speeches, and declarations, it challenges previous perceptions of various major players, including President Alcalá Zamora.
