«Los orígenes de la Guerra Civil Española» is the historical essay by Pío Moa, published by Ediciones Encuentro in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyzes the context of the global upheavals of the 1930s to explain the outbreak of the Spanish war. Its central thesis is that the insurrection of October 1934 constitutes the true beginning of the conflict, and it supports this with internal documents from the PSOE and the Catalan Esquerra. It also examines little-known episodes, such as Azaña's attempted coup in July 1934, the Esquerra's rebelliousness before October, or Besteiro's exclusion from the UGT leadership for opposing the insurrectionary path.
It is number 154 of the Ensayo collection, within the Historia series, from Ediciones Encuentro. It includes bibliographic references (pages 415-437) and an index.
Recommended for readers interested in Spanish history and the historiographical debate on the Second Republic and the Civil War, endorsed by historians such as Carlos Seco Serrano and Stanley Payne.
