It examines how the Spanish military coped with technological innovations such as the machine gun and the tank, how it adapted the army´s battlefield doctrine to changes in warfare before the Civil War, and the influence of this doctrine on the outcome of the conflict. Of the different armed forces that fought in the Spanish Civil War, it is paradoxically the Spanish army that remains most forgotten - especially its military doctrine. Scholarship on the Spanish military in this period focuses on its politics, ideology and institutional reforms, touching upon 'hard' professional issues only superficially, if at all. Based on original research and using largely unstudied Spanish primary sources, this book fills a major scholarly gap in the history of the Spanish army and the Spanish Civil War. 000799867 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000799867 651_0 $$aSpain$$xHistory, Military$$y20th century. 000799867 651_0 $$aSpain$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1936-1939. 000799867 852__ $$bebk 000799867 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-54747-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000799867 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:799867$$pGLOBAL_SET 000799867 980__ $$aEBOOK 000799867 980__ $$aBIB 000799867 982__ $$aEbook 000799867 983__ $$aOnline 000799867 994__ $$a92$$bISE
