Routledge/Canada Blanch Studies on Contemporary Spain Ser.: Gunpowder and Incense : The Catholic Church and the Spanish Civil War by Hilari Raguer (2012, Trade Paperback)
Unlike most books on the subject, Hilari Raguer looks beyond the traditional explanation that the war was primarily a religious struggle. His writing presents an exemplary "insider's" perspective, and is notable for its balance and perception on the role of the Catholic Church before, during and after the War.
