"Between War and Revolution": A journey through the history of the Spanish Civil War and the Spanish Revolution, by Mario Salvadori. 188-page volume. PBM Series (*Piccola Biblioteca Militante* / Small Militant Library). --- The Book --- In July 1936, the military coup in Spain sparked an intense revolutionary period, representing one of the greatest "stormsing of the heavens" in the history of the global working class. In many cities, the army was defeated by the proletariat-organized in Catalonia and other regions within the anarchist trade union CNT-which went beyond the mere defense of the bourgeois republic to create an egalitarian, communist, and libertarian society.
This text provides a concise and accessible overview of:The birth and development of anarchism in Spain.
The coup d'état and the immediate response of the working class in both cities and the countryside.
The subsequent strategic choices made by the Confederation and the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI), caught in the dramatic dilemma between the necessities of war and the ideals of revolution.
