Thanks for the heads-up von S. Look like it could be a useful reference tool.

Cheers,

Helen

I thank you. I have one Spanish written but translated to English book on the SCW but despite being an accurate translation technically it lacks any feel or spirit so ends up reading like a robot wrote it with a 19th Century vocab.

Not surprisingly, there are numerous books in Spanish about the Civil War, some excellent ones in fact, none of which have ever been translated. While I can crawl at a snail's pace through the text, it still kills any feel for the writing even in its own language. If an English version of this is available, that's one copy sold at least.

£33 seems a lot but compared to a soft back Osprey book for £10 it might not be so unreasonable... Some of their previous offerings have turned up at Amazon, so it might be worth keeping an eye out there.
