Recensione:

"Mr. Jackson's account of these events is altogether excellent. His book has balance and humanity. It paints fully in depth issues that have been hitherto brushed out lightly; the Republic's economic and financial policies; what he calls the 'limits on suffering and destruction' in the war itself. It is a highly readable book which is at the same time a scholarly description of a great and grim historic tragedy."--Raymon Carr, New York Review of Books

"It is no exaggeration to say that Jackson's book, written with a fine and forceful combination of personal involvement and professional detachment, is . . . the first comprehensive and trustworthy account in English. The book is much more than a chroicle. It is also an interpretation of the Republic's place in Spanish history, an interpretation comparable in its excellence to Georges LeFebvre's celebrated study of the French Revolution. We are not likely for a long time to have a book that better deserves the cheapened adjective definitive."--Allen Guttmann, Commentary
