...area of history. I chose the Spanish Civil War mainly because I knew very little about it. I of course went and bought lots of books on the subject but also decided to buy this DVD, just to give me an overview of the war. It gives an excellent overview of the causes of the war, why the Nationalists won so convicingly, the way in which Franco built up a 'cult of personality' and also goes over the military side very well.

The Program was originally aired in 2007 for ITV; at the beginning you see the ...
