Socialism and War

The book delves into the critical yet often overlooked role of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) during the Civil War from 1936 to 1939. It highlights how PSOE members were integral to the Republican government and war effort, despite being marginalized in previous narratives focused on anarchists and communists. The text explores the internal divisions within socialism and the challenges faced by the PSOE, illustrating how its struggles mirrored the broader collapse of the Republic. Through this lens, it examines the complex dynamics of revolution and state power in wartime Spain.
