"In its nine chapters, each written by an expert on the period covered, A Military
History of Modern Spain takes a critical and anaytical look at the Spanish military
through the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the topics addressed: the Napoleonnic Wars,
the loss of Spain's North American empire to the newly emerging United States of America,
the military's activities in Morocco including the Rif Rebellion (1921-27), and the
Spanish Civil War and Franco regime. Contributors explore the role of the Spanish
army in World War II (Spain was officially neurtal as it had been in World War I),
post-war de-colonialism as Spain shed its African empire, and Spain's integration
into the Western defense community ; The final chapter focuses on the struggle against
terrorism, covering both the domestic Basques of ETA (Fatherland and Liberty) and
al-Qaeda and radical Islamic fundamentalism."--BOOK JACKET
