Defence of Madrid

"Geoffrey Cox's eyewitness account of 1936 Madrid under aerial and ground attack from Franco and his fascist allies is republished in this new edition with a foreword by Professor Paul Preston and an introduction by Michael O'Shaughnessy. Seventy years on from the events it records, the daily routine of a city pounded by one of the first urban wars of the twentieth century is brought to life."--BOOK JACKET.
