The Ebro 1938Death knell of the Republic\nAuthor(s): Chris Henry, Adam Hook\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Osprey Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781855327382, 978-1855327382\nSynopsis\nA concise and illustrated account of the last major Republican offensive of the Spanish Civil war, featuring maps and battlescenes throughout.\n\nThe 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.\n\nHowever, this book argues, it was probably the death knell of the Republic; their armies lost vast amounts of men and materials and they were left incapable of defending their remaining territory effectively. The consequences for Europe were immense.
