A republic fractures. Foreign bombers circle. Cabinets in distant capitals choose to watch-and teach aggressors exactly how far they can go. This book exposes the Spanish Civil War as the prelude to World War II, a live laboratory where dictators refined airpower, armour, and propaganda while the West rehearsed appeasement under the banner of non intervention. It is for readers who want more than story: analysts, students, and citizens who need a clear model for recognising the next rehearsal for catastrophe. - Understand how the Condor Legion turned towns like Guernica into proofs-of-concept…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A republic fractures. Foreign bombers circle. Cabinets in distant capitals choose to watch-and teach aggressors exactly how far they can go. This book exposes the Spanish Civil War as the prelude to World War II, a live laboratory where dictators refined airpower, armour, and propaganda while the West rehearsed appeasement under the banner of non intervention. It is for readers who want more than story: analysts, students, and citizens who need a clear model for recognising the next rehearsal for catastrophe. - Understand how the Condor Legion turned towns like Guernica into proofs-of-concept for terror from the sky - See why International Brigades mattered most as narrative-and how narratives shape policy - Learn the logistics behind victory: radios, air war doctrine, fuel, bridges, and the unglamorous arithmetic of supply Grasp how "neutral" committees can tilt a battlefield, and how early appeasement wrote the timetable for aggression By the final page, you'll hold a practical lens for reading civil wars that attract outsiders: which signals-foreign airlifts, proxy deployments, doctrinal notes-mean escalation; when non-intervention is intervention by other means; and how to weigh the moral cost of delay. For anyone seeking lessons of proxy wars and the real early warning signs of war, this is rigorous, readable history with consequences for now.
Autorenporträt
Luca Romano writes about power, memory, and the fragile line between ceremony and violence. Raised among the archives and piazzas of Italy's twentieth century, he traces how ideas turn into institutions-and how institutions learn to look away. His work moves between the committee rooms of Geneva and the mountain passes of East Africa, attentive to the lives on both sides of the rifle. He believes history is a grammar of responsibility: if we learn its syntax, we need not repeat its sentences. When not following paper trails, he walks old rail lines and reads newspapers a century late, listening for the tones that once made the unacceptable sound reasonable.
