In the shadow of fascism's rise across Europe, the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) became the defining ideological battleground of the twentieth century — and Spain Betrayed lays bare the devastating role the Soviet Union played in shaping its tragic outcome. Drawing on a vast trove of newly declassified documents from Russian archives, this meticulously edited collection presents the unfiltered communications between Moscow and its agents in Spain, revealing how Stalin's Comintern systematically manipulated, undermined, and ultimately sacrificed the Spanish Republic for its own geopolitical ends. Ronald Radosh, Mary R. Habeck, and Grigory Sevostianov have assembled a landmark work of primary source scholarship that dismantles long-held myths about Soviet solidarity with the Republican cause. The documents chronicle purges of independent leftists, the suppression of non-Communist militias, and the cynical strategic calculations that left Spain at Franco's mercy. Authoritative and unflinching, Spain Betrayed forces a reckoning with the question of just how much the Republic's defeat was engineered from within — and who, in the end, truly paid the price.
