Synopsis
May 1937 saw the defeat of one of the most advanced revolutions in modern history. In Insurrection, Agustin Guillamon explains how and why it happened. One of the foremost historians of the Spanish Civil War writing today, Guillamon is known for his skill at unearthing new information, which he gathers from both archives and interviews. In this, his most recent and newly translated book, he uses that information to shed light on some of the most vexing and previously unanswered questions about the conflict, especially on the way that Stalinist and Republican forces conspired through assassination, intrigue and violence, to suppress the uprising. This is the story that George Orwell recounted, but failed to fully understand, in Homage to Catalonia., May 1937 saw the defeat of one of the most advanced revolutions in modern history. In Insurrection , Agust n Guillam n explains how and why it happened. One of the foremost historians of the Spanish Civil War writing today, Guillam n is known for his skill at unearthing new information, which he gathers from both archives and interviews. In this, his most recent and newly translated book, he uses that information to shed light on some of the most vexing and previously unanswered questions about the conflict, especially on the way that Stalinist and Republican forces conspired through assassination, intrigue and violence, to suppress the uprising. This is a story that George Orwel recounted, but failed to fully understand, in Homage to Catalonia ., In May 1937, one of the most advanced revolutions in modern history was defeated. In Insurrection, Agustín Guillamón explains how Stalinist counter-revolution and republican reformism disarmed the threat of the anarchist working class in the Spanish Revolution. While anarchist "leadership" flailed, the defense committees were weakened, which allowed bourgeois institutions to gain power and strengthened the republican state. Using new information gathered from archives and interviews, Guillamón tackles some of the most vexing questions about the Spanish Civil War, retelling the story George Orwell recounted but failed to fully understand in Homage to Catalonia.
