Description

A concise and illustrated account of the last major Republican offensive of the Spanish Civil War, featuring maps and battlescenes throughout.

The Battle of the Ebro was a vitally important episode in the Spanish conflict and, although ultimately a Republican defeat, it proved a severe setback for the Nationalist forces under General Francesco Franco Bahamonde. According to many historians, it extended the war for an extra year.

However, The Ebro 1938 argues that it was probably the death knell of the Republic; their armies lost vast amounts of men and materials, leaving them incapable of defending their remaining territory effectively. The consequences for Europe were immense.
