The Spanish Civil War was marked by an outpouring of literary energies engaging the interest of the poet, the novelist, the pamphleteer and the historian. Unfortunately, very little material from this fascinating period survived the wartime conditions in Spain and the ravages of World War II.
This collection presents approximately 3,000 rare pamphlets from the Mandeville Department of Special Collections at the University of California at San Diego. Included are publications from Spain, Portugal, Latin America and the Philippines, as well as more than 100 German pamphlets published in Spanish.
Distributed throughout Spain, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union and North America, the pamphlets in this collection represent the opinions and philosophies of the insurgents, anarchists, socialists and communists. Here lies a wealth of information on Spanish and international history, ideology, political science, church and state conflicts, nationalism, socialism, fascism and communism.
The Spanish Civil War Collection is accompanied by a printed guide, arranged alphabetically by main entry, author and title, and includes reel location information.
