Surprised there isn't a thread on this already - looked back through 2+ years of OT and couldn't find anything. Link me to it if I've missed it and I'll delete this one.
I'm on a bit of a reading binge at the moment, first goal is to better understand the the drivers for and character of modern fascism. As part of that, I'm reading into the Spanish Civil War - internal and external dynamics.
Read this, hard to put down, great analysis of the roots of fascism (Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, etc.) and how it is working today as it re-emerges as a prominent part of the global political landscape (Trump, Orban, Bolsanaro, Kaczynski, etc.). I fully recommend this to anyone interested in the issue:
Read this, it was interesting but a bit more 'day in the life of' than the big picture that I wanted. Recommended to anyone interested in a first hand account of revolutionary Europe in the interwar years or a first hand account of warfare in the early/mid 1900s. Not much reason to read it other than that:
Now reading this, it's deep and long but very well researched and written - about 250 pages into about 500:
What are you reading?
