The Non-Intervention Committee played a key role in this strategy, with Great Britain a key player in what became known as the \"London Committee\". British interests in the Iberian Peninsula, however, meant that events in Spain were of crucial importance to the Foreign Office and the victory of the Popular Front in February, 1936 was deemed a potential threat that could drive the country towards instability. This book explores how British authorities in Gibraltar ostensibly initiated a formal policy of neutrality when the uprising took place, only for the Gibraltarian authorities to provide real support for the Nationalists under the surface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book draws on a wealth of primary source material, some of it little-known before now, to deliver a significant contribution to our knowledge of the part played by democratic powers in the 1930s' confrontation between Communism and Fascism. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a complete understanding of the Spanish Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julio Ponce Alberca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472533127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472533128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Julio Ponce Alberca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579750334719,"sku":"9781472533128","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92701525-0b41-406a-9ef2-6c6ef5c8826c.jpg?v=1763876392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gibraltar-and-the-spanish-civil-julio-ponce-alberca-9781472533128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
