International Communism and the “Cultural Front”
No description available
Franco’s Internationalists
Tainted by its close association with the Axis powers, Spain was diplomatically and politically isolated after 1945. Until the late 1950s, this meant exclusion from the principal international bodies created in the post-war era and from the networks of commercial, financial, cultural and scientific co-operation that they helped sustain. The response of the Franco regime was to embrace its separateness domestically through policies of self-suffici…

Spain at War
In a country so decisively shaped by armed conflict, and where the army has often played a prominent social and political role, the military history of Spain has only recently received properly critical attention. One reason for this lies with the experience of two dictatorships in the twentieth century, which made the study of military history appear inherently reactionary. In addition, the many colonial and internal struggles in which Spain has…
The ‘Red Terror’ and the Spanish Civil War
During the Spanish Civil War, the death and destruction on the fighting fronts was matched by murder and repression behind the lines. Claims and counter-claims about atrocities committed against social and political enemies, blurring distinctions between ‘civilians’ and ‘combatants’, were traded within Spain and internationally during the conflict itself and since. The victorious Francoists assiduously propagated the claim that the bloodthirsty ‘…
Stalin's Curse
Any potential ambiguity in the title of this book is swiftly resolved in the introduction. Stalin is not the one who was cursed: rather, he was the curse. The principal theme explored by Robert Gellately—perhaps best known as a historian of Nazi Germany—is the spread of a Stalinised form of Communism outside the borders of the Soviet Union during and after the Second World War. A topic of this scope leads to a correspondingly big book. Twenty-one…

Living Up to Lenin
In its quest to spread the Bolshevik revolution around the world, the Communist International (Comintern) sought to create a strong leadership culture among communist parties. This article examines the experience of the Spanish Communist Party (PCE). It shifts the focus away from a traditional concern with the individual or collective characters and capabilities of leaders, towards an analysis of the everyday characteristics and behaviours requir…
Deviation and discipline
This article examines the campaigns to suppress dissent and create conformity within international communism, focusing on the Spanish Communist party in the period before the Great Terror in the Soviet Union. This was not a simple process of ‘Stalinization’ forced upon the Spanish party by the Communist International (Comintern) in Moscow but required the active participation of party members in order to create a culture of compliance. A range of…
Maximizing children’s physical activity
An evaluability assessment was conducted to plan a community-based, multi-strategy approach to physical activity promotion (MSAPAP) to maximize young children's physical activity in an ethno-racially and socio-economically diverse city. This assessment involved consultation with various stakeholders to develop a program logic model to diagrammatically describe the MSAPAP. First, published literature regarding physical activity was reviewed to des…

Reinterpreting Revolution in Twentieth-Century Europe
Until the dramatic fall of Communist regimes in the East placed the possibility of revolution on the agenda once again, sudden and decisive political change had appeared a largely anachronistic phenomenon in Europe. Looking back over the twentieth century, it is plausible to argue that the twentieth, rather than the nineteenth, has been the 'most revolutionary of centuries'. In this volume, leading specialists from a variety of disciplines examin…
