A considerable number of books have been written about the Spanish Civil War, which started 90 years ago. We have been fortunate to secure the services of Dr Alan Sennett who is the author of such a publication. One of the most complex conflicts in the modern era, Alan will explain why Spain burst into flames in July 1936. He will discuss how we should understand the causes and nature of the ensuing civil war. This talk examines the political, military and social history of the war from both a Spanish and international perspective. It refers to some historical debates surrounding the civil war, the Revolution and its international repercussions.
Dr Alan Sennett is an arts and social sciences tutor for the OU and Liverpool University. His areas of research and publication concern the Spanish Civil War and film propaganda and is the author of Revolutionary Marxism in Spain, 1930–1937 .
