Notes: • The Popular Revolution: Bolloten details how the July 1936 military rebellion triggered a massive, grassroots social and economic revolution across towns and villages in Republican areas, featuring worker-controlled collectives and revolutionary committees. • The Communist Rise to Power: He charts the fierce struggle for political dominance on the left, demonstrating how the Spanish Communist Party—backed by Soviet resources—gradually marginalized, absorbed, or crushed rival left-wing factions, including anarchosyndicalists (CNT-FAI), socialists, and POUM dissidents. • From Militia to Regular Army: The book documents the dismantling of irregular revolutionary militias and the centralization of military and public life under Communist and Soviet influence.
