Reviews"Author Alejandro de Quesada tackles a complicated, convoluted subject - and superbly shoehorns contents into just 48 pages." - David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com "This book concentrates on the Nationalist forces and while it is typically a uniforms and equipment book, does a nice job of condensing the conflict into the various smaller campaigns. It also covers all the different groups and militias that came together to help ensure the Nationalist victory over the Republican forces. This effectively put Franco in power, a reign that lasted 35 years until his death in 1975 and the restoration of the monarchy in what we would now call a constitutional monarchy. In addition to covering all the participants, there are several full color pages, chock full of uniforms and personal equipment that has made Osprey's Men At Arms series so popular. It is a great book on the subject and one that enthusiasts of the period should not miss." - Scott Van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com, "Author Alejandro de Quesada tackles a complicated, convoluted subject - and superbly shoehorns contents into just 48 pages." - David L.

SynopsisFeaturing full-colour artwork, this is the first detailed English-language study of Franco's German-allied forces in the devastating Spanish Civil War, the 'rehearsal' for World War II., The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39, was the curtain-raiser to World War II, and the major international event of the 1930s. It was the first great clash of 20th-century ideologies, between the rebel Nationalist army led by General Franco (right-wing, and aided by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy), and the Republican army of the government (left-wing, and aided by the Communist Soviet Union and many volunteers from liberal democracies). Three years of widespread campaigns involved the most modern weapons available (submachine guns, mortars, artillery, tanks, and combat aircraft operating in direct support of ground forces). The war was fought ruthlessly by both sides, and when the Nationalists secured victory they installed a dictatorship that lasted until November 1975 - the last such regime in Western Europe. The Nationalist forces were varied in origin and appearance. Their spearhead was provided by the colonial army brought over from Spanish Morocco - the Spanish Foreign Legion, and Spanish-led Moroccan native regiments. Apart from sympathizers within the pre-war regular army, troops raised in Spain reflected a number of distinct regional traditions and political militias, and included both internal security units and foreign volunteer contingents. Weapons and equipment came from a wide variety of Spanish and foreign sources. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork, this first part of a two-part study depicts the fighting men of the Nationalist forces that strove to take control of Spain alongside their German and Italian allies.
