Romani,
You may be right or you may be wrong. But AB seems to be an historian who is very well regarded by many authorities. Perhaps you are letting your own bias - which you are perfectly entitled to have - get in the way of an objective view of his book. However, getting down to the basics of the SCW: it was an army coup against an elected government. I've always been ashamed of my country's lack of support for the Republicans and still am. People such as Anthony Eden and Churchill were very hypocritical and would have done anything to preserve their privileged life style, even if it meant supporting the fascist dictators. Those last had many supporters in the ranks of the British aristocracy, I'm afraid. Under Franco, Spain was hardly an enlightened democracy, was it. People were still being shot for their political beliefs.
