Fighting for Franco: International Volunteers in Nationalist Spain During the Spanish Civil War
by Judith Keene, Gabriel Jackson (foreword)
Description: - One of the enduring myths of the Franco state was that the Nationalist forces that won the Civil War consisted of patriotic Spaniards, while the Republic was defended by a rag tag army of foreign "Reds". During the Spanish civil war, however, many groups on the European right were galvanised by the Nationalist cause. This book recounts the experiences of a number of foreign volunteers, including the brigades of White Russians, Romanians, Irish and the French volunteers in the Jeanne d'Arc battalion, all of whom saw their engagement in Spain as a means of promoting their own political causes at home

Imperial Spain: 1469-1716
by J.H. Elliott
Description: - The story of Spain's rise to greatness from its humble beginnings as one of the poorest and most marginal of European countries is a remarkable one. With the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, the final expulsion of the Moslems and the discovery of America, Spain took on a seemingly unstoppable dynamism that made it into the world's first global power. This success however created many powerful enemies and this book also charts the dramatic fall of Habsburg Spain.
