Michael Seidman is professor of history at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

"Michael Seidman has forged a reputation as an iconoclastic social
historian of the Spanish Civil War. . . . Readers eager for rich
detail on the organization of the Franco war effort will find many
nuggets in this book."--European History Quarterly
"Seidman offers here a historical analysis that must be included in
any contemporary consideration of the Spanish Civil War."--The
Journal of Modern History
"Seidman's book builds upon his earlier efforts to cast the course
and outcome of the Spanish Civil War in a new light; future
scholars of the conflict will have no choice but to address the
findings, interpretations, and conclusions of this important
book."--Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies
"This work is unique. Seidman persuasively argues that the victory
of Franco's Nationalists cannot be fully explained by military,
political, and cultural factors. By examining everyday experience
in the Nationalist zone, particularly material and economic
conditions, he accounts for the stability and efficiency of the
Nationalist war effort."--Sasha Pack, University at Buffalo, The
State University of New York
