The Spanish Revolution page has been online for more than a decade and contains dozens of articles on the Spanish Civil War from an anarchist perspective as well as links to many photographs of the civil war. Anarchists seldom use the phrase 'civil war' in relation to the events because it hides the revolutionary nature of the struggle within the republican side, a revolution in which some seven million workers on the land and in industry took over their workplaces. This page has been updated as of late 2007 to fix the many broken links that had accumulated and to add extra explanatory text and links to good books and video on the revolution that are not otherwise available online.
