Reform and Reaction

This well-documented study deals in moderate, objective terms with a critical and particularly sensitive aspect of Spanish history. This notable contribution examines the background of the Spanish Civil War and explores the nature of church-state relations in Spain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This analysis of the Spanish politico-religious conflict of 1936 shows that the clash between church and state came to be the direct cause of the downfall of the republic.Originally published in 1964.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
