This new edition of a classic book on the Spanish Civil War shares the tale of the siege of Madrid by Franco's right-wing forces, supported by the Nazis and the fascist regime of Mussolini, against the civilian population and its just elected government representatives, who happened to be left-wing. The account of the city under attack, in one of the twentieth century's first urban wars, has all too many echoes today. With a selection of historical photographs, as well as samples of Cox's journalism from the front, Defence of Madrid will confirm its position as one of the classics of twentieth-century reportage. It is being published for the 70th anniversary of the event.
