Review
On Comrades: 'Paul Preston knows more about the Spanish Civil War than any other Englishman; more, even, than those who fought it. Anyone interested in Spain will want this book.' ALLAN MASSIE, Daily Telegraph On Franco: 'It is difficult to see this marvellous, brilliantly written and surely authoritative biography ever being matched. It is a book any historian would have been proud to have written.' IAN KERSHAW, THES On A Concise History of the Spanish Civil War: 'Paul Preston has an exceptional gift of lucid exposition, clarifying but not over-simplifying political situations often bafflingly complicated.' V. G. KIERNAN
Paul Preston, Professor of Iberian History at LSE, has brought his encyclopaedic knowledge of Spain and the Spanish Civil War to bear on this unusual biographical work about four women who all took an active part in that devastating conflict. He chose two staunch Republicans, and two on the Francoist side, all totally dedicated to their cause. Their stories are largely forgotten but he has brought them to life, and illuminated their times, using an impressive number of diaries, letters and contemporary documents. These women never met but they all not only experienced the horrors and bereavements of the war but also suffered in different ways from the suppression of women in Spanish male-dominated society. They were also linked by their courage and initiative and by the terrible emotional cost of the war in their lives. Two of the women were English, fighting on opposite sides: Nan Green, a Communist, who joined her husband in the International Brigades, and Priscilla Scott-Ellis, a socialite who soon came down to earth working in the frontline hospitals. Mercedes Sanz-Bachiller was the widow of a Falangist, and threw herself into welfare work on a wide scale, which soon made her a very powerful woman in the Francoist zone. Perhaps the most interesting, talented and unusual woman of the four was Margarita Nelken, a revolutionary feminist, writer and Social Member of Parliament representing poverty-stricken rural labourers before the war began. She worked tirelessly, and when Madrid was besieged, she battled on many fronts, especially in the Union of Anti-Fascist Women. Finally the victorious Francoists sought their revenge and she had to flee into exile with so many others, with all her hopes crushed. The shadow of the war hung over the rest of all their lives. This is a brilliant study of one of the 20th century's most brutal conflicts, filtered through the experiences of four exceptional women.

Product Description
Love, war, duty, faith, betrayal and belief - this book presents a portrait of the Spanish Civil War from the viewpoint of the experience of four women. The last war fought for ideals, the Spanish Civil War tore Spain apart. Much has been written about its effects on the people and country but little about the women involved. However, behind the well-documented experiences of Martha Gellhorn and La Pasionaria lie the forgotten stories of the women whose lives proved crucial to the struggle - and to understanding it. In "Doves of War", Paul Preston focuses on the stories of four women whose very different beliefs and experiences help crystallise a new vision of the Spanish Civil War. In the book, as in the war, communist is pitted against fascist. In the red corner we have Margarita Nelken the revolutionary feminist, writer and politician; and Nan Green the Communist nurse whose International Brigader husband was killed in battle on the last day of the war. In the blue corner there is Mercedes Sanz Bachiller whose entry into politics rapidly followed her miscarriage on hearing of the death of her husband in battle, and Priscilla Scott-Ellis daughter of a supporter of Oswald Mosley and married, with disastrous results, to a Spanish playboy, her alcoholic and sexual exploits with the German airforce notorious. Each story casts a different light on the events of the war and on the experiences of women in Spain. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
