The Spanish Civil War was the curtain-raiser to World War II and involved a complex collection of forces, particularly on the Republican side.

The Spanish Civil War 1936–39 (2) illustrates how diverse the Republican forces were, drawn from loyal elements of the Spanish army that rejected the appeal of the rebel generals, a wide range of volunteer regional units and political militias, and supported by volunteers from many other countries, including Great Britain, France, and Germany, in units known as the International Brigades.

The wide range of equipment and uniforms worn by these troops is revealed, as is the organization of militias into conventional brigades and divisions.

Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this second part of a two-part study depicts the fighting men of the Republican forces and examples of their foreign comrades.
