THE SPANISH MILITARY AND WARFARE FROM 1899 TO T...

This book explores the attitudes of the Spanish army officer corps towards the evolution of
warfare during the early decades of the twentieth century  and their influence on the armies of
the Spanish Civil War. It examines how the Spanish military coped with technological
innovations such as the machine gun and the tank  how it adapted the army´s battlefield
doctrine to changes in warfare before the Civil War  and the influence of this doctrine on the
outcome of the conflict. Of the different armed forces that fought in the Spanish Civil War  it
is paradoxically the Spanish army that remains most forgotten - especially its military
doctrine. Scholarship on the Spanish military in this period focuses on its politics  ideology
and institutional reforms  touching upon 'hard' professional issues only superficially  if at
all. Based on original research and using largely unstudied Spanish primary sources  this book
fills a major scholarly gap in the history of the Spanish army and theSpanish Civil War.
