Mark Lawrence

¿Tienen alguna relación la Guerra Civil Española con las guerras carlistas del siglo XIX? Mark Lawrence nos propone una nueva visión de la Guerra Civil de 1936 a partir del antecedente de la Primera Guerra Carlista, que tuvo lugar entre 1833 y 1840, con la que tiene muchos paralelismos, nacionales e internacionales, a pesar de los cien años que las separan. Lawrence nos ofrece una historia comparada de estas guerras, asi como del impacto que tuvieron estos conflictos tanto en el marco nacional como internacional. Nos muestra que nuestras guerras civiles fueron guerras mundiales en miniatura, en las que combatieron voluntarios extranjeros bajo la mirada y conciencia politica del mundo exterior, llegando a la conclusion de que el conflicto belico de 1936 supuso la derrota de las libertades conquistadas en la Primera Guerra Carlista. Al mismo tiempo que analiza como y por que España perdio cien años despues aquellas libertades conseguidas en la decada de 1830."Las guerras civiles españolas" se divide en dos partes, una nacional y otra internacional, cada una con capitulos tematicos en los que se comparan dichas guerras en detalle. Se estudian desde el ambito politico, social y militar, pero tambien desde el angulo del genero, la cultura, el nacionalismo y el separatismo, la economia, la religion y, sobre todo, el contexto internacional. El libro es fruto de una profunda investigacion en distintos archivos internacionales, asi como del estudio de los ultimos trabajos sobre la materia. Un libro fundamental, de referencia, tanto para estudiantes y estudiosos del tema como para el gran publico, que ofrece una nueva perspectiva, tan original como interesante, sobre la Guerra Civil Española.¿Tienen alguna relación la Guerra Civil Española con las guerras carlistas del siglo XIX?
