Spanish Civil War

[Boboulas]

Ive mentioned it a few times allready so i thought i post a few links for people wanting to learn more about it.


To Remember Spain: The Anarchist and Syndicalist Revoultion of 1936

The Spanish Civil War: Anarchism in Action

Id start off with these, they are both quite long though so it may take some time to get though them. They are also worth a read if you are interested in anarchism in general and want to know more about something that is rarely touched on.

Got any other links blud?

Just read Homage to Catalonia. Who would've thunk the commies wanted to prevent revolution huh

[1871]

ha ha - now you know Hamish.

Stalin took Spanish gold in exchange for weapons - he loved it - I will dig out his comments at the time. The film Land and Freedom was good on that - and a lot has been written about it. Orwell is a pretty good writer. British werent neutral either as they said - as they blockaded supplies to the Republic.

Wow, random, just started reading the book like 3 days ago, finally. Been looking for some good sources on the Spanish civil war for a while now, will check out the one's above. Thanks for posting, didn't know stuff was around here.

Also, if anyone has any info to share, a breakdown, opinions, whatever you've learned, it'd be dope to hear.

I'll look more into it when I get a chance, I've enough to be getting on with at the moment.
