Trade Review'Stradling's meticulous examination is a significant contribution to the historiography. His examination of the Gernika devastation is also excellent. His coverage of the lesser-known Nationalist air attacks on Lerida, Granollers, and Alicante is exemplary.' Michael Seidman, English Historical Review, Oct 2009 "An...excellent new book..."Stanley G. Payne, La Razon 'This book represents an excellent study of the Spanish Civil War: an impressive synthesis of the literatures on memory, propaganda and war. This is a well written, informative and scholarly book that deserves a wide readership for those interested in the phenomenon of war and the human experience.' R. Gerald Hughes, Planet, Issue 191
