Brenan sets out the social and political background to the Spanish Civil War, drawing on his experience as a witness in the village of Yegen, in the Alpujarras of Granada. The book combines personal testimony with a historical synthesis of Spain in the first half of the twentieth century, from the Restoration to the Second Republic.

For history readers interested in an introduction to the Spanish problem and the origins of the Civil War.
