Payne offers the first comprehensive narrative of Soviet and Communist intervention in the revolution and civil war in Spain. He documents in unprecedented detail Soviet strategies, Comintern activities, and the role of the Communist party in Spain from the early 1930's to the end of the civil war in 1939.Drawing on a very broad range of Soviet and Spanish primary sources, including many only recently available, Payne changes our understanding of Soviet and Communist intentions in Spain, of Stalin's decision to intervene in the Spanish war, of the widely accepted characterization of the conflict as the struggle of fascism against democracy, and of the claim that Spain's war constituted the opening round of World War II. The author arrives at a new view of the Spanish Civil War and concludes not only that the Democratic Republic had many undemocratic components but also that the position of the Communist party was by no means counterrevolutionary. 606 $aCommunism$zSoviet Union 606 $aCommunism$zSpain 607 $aSoviet Union$xRelations$zSpain 607 $aSpain$xHistory$y1868-1931 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yRepublic, 1931-1939 607 $aSpain$xRelations$zSoviet Union 615 0$aCommunism 615 0$aCommunism 676 $a946.081/3/0947 700 $aPayne$b Stanley G$0140002 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777827103321 996 $aThe Spanish Civil War, the Soviet Union, and communism$93762613 997 $aUNINA
