Revolution And Counter Revolution In Spain

Felix Morrow's book, written in the white heat of the struggle, remains a Marxist classic on the Spanish Civil war. It is one of the clearest accounts produced of the movement of the Spanish masses, describing the events in Catalonia and the role of all those involved. This book contains the text of Revolution and counter-revolution together with the earlier Civil war in Spain and Ted Grant's 1973 article which provides an overview of the Spanish revolution. This book provides an excellent companion to the writings of Leon Trotsky on this question and deserves to be studied by all class-conscious activists.

A detailed account of the war describes Republican political life during the period and recounts the rise of the Spanish Communist Party

This volume contains a selection of original documents from the period 1936-39. These include first hand accounts of the constructive aspects of the revolution - the collectives in town and country, in industry, in public services and in agriculture; reports on meetings and demonstrations in favour of the Spanish workers' struggle; verbatim reports of speeches made by the CNT-FAI 'luminaries' justifying their compromises in accepting government posts; appreciative statements by non-anarchists on the positive contribution by the Spanish comrades in the armed struggle as well as in creating a new society.
