Cambridge University Press The Spanish Republic at War 19361939
Book SynopsisThis 2002 book is a comprehensive analysis of the forces of the Spanish left - interpreted broadly - during the civil war of 1936â9, and the first of its kind for more than thirty years. It argues two crucial propositions. First, that the wartime responses (and limitations) of the Spanish left - republicans, socialists, communists and anarcho-syndicalists - can be understood only in relation to their pre-war experiences, world views, organisational structures and the wider Spanish context of acute uneven development which had moulded their organisations over previous decades. Second, that the overarching influence that shaped the evolution of the Republic between 1936 and 1939 was the war itself: the book explores the complex, cumulative effects of a civil war fought under the brutally destabilising conditions of an international arms embargo.Trade Review'… by some distance the best book I have read in any language on the Spanish Republic during the Civil War. The detailed - and thoroughly analytical - narrative of the politics of the Republic outshines anything that has been written before … A very major work by a mature historian writing at the height of her powers.' Professor Paul Preston, London School of Economics and Political Science'… a highly detailed and densely argued contribution to the long-running historical debate about the nature of the wartime Spanish republic.' History'Not the least of the merits of this massively impressive book is its setting of the Spanish Civil War, as seen from the standpoint of an observer of the politics and society of the Republican zone, in contexts that historiography tends to ignore … Graham brilliantly illuminates the immaturity of Spanish political life … This book is so rich that one can find nuggets of gold everywhere …'. War in History'… this work is an absolute must for all who want to look beyond the simple events and varying accounts of the Spanish Civil War. … Graham is the author of a brilliant analysis that is both highly interesting and highly readable. Even those who already know a great deal about the Spanish Civil War will be able to draw new knowledge from this work.' International Review of Social History'Helen Graham's study constituted a comprehensive analysis and detailed description of Republican politics during the war period … her book may well be considered as a kind of updated synthesis, which will be extremely useful for anyone interested in the Civil War.'

Cambridge University Press Conflict over Convoys AngloAmerican Logistics Diplomacy in the Second World War
Book SynopsisConflict over Convoys examines the Battle of the Atlantic from the perspective of Anglo-American diplomacy, deepening our understanding of Allied grand strategy, British industrial policy, and operations TORCH and OVERLORD. Failure to build and maintain enough ships to feed the people and wage war made Britain dependent upon American-built merchant ships and American logistical support, yet British strategists aspired to dominate Allied strategy, while Roosevelt mismanaged merchant shipping allocations. The resulting gap between strategic ambition and logistical reality embittered the controversy over the 'Second Front'. Victory in the Atlantic finally led to American dominance of Allied logistics diplomacy and strategy. Conflict over Convoys relates these tensions to the decline of British hegemony and the rise of the USA to global influence.Trade Review"...this book is solid and well researched....Smith has used a wealth of private and public sources, mostly British, but many American as well, to buttress his story. He well illustrates the logistical problems of the alliance and the interaction between civilians and the military in achieving hard-fought consensus over military strategy during the war." The Journal of American History"I highly recommend the book as a significant contribution to both military history and the history of the Second World War, its wide scope highlights a number of subjects....Smith's excellent footnotes and comprehensive bibliography will provide scholars with a valuable guide to future studies." Keith W. Bird, The Journal of Military History"Overall this book is solid and well researched....Smith has used a wealth of private and public sources, mostly British but many American as well, to buttress his story. He well illustrates the logistical problems of the alliance and the interaction between civilians and the military in acieving hard-fought consensus over military strategy during the war." Richard W.
