Böcker av Michael E. Chapman

In 1938 the United States was embroiled in a vicious debate between supporters of the two sides of the Spanish Civil War, who sought either to lift or to retain the US arms embargo on Spain. In Arguing Americanism, author Michael E. Chapman examines the long-overlooked pro-Nationalist argument.

Since World War II, American historians have traditionally sided with the Loyalist supporters in the Spanish Civil War, validating their arguments that the pro-Nationalists were un-American for backing an unpalatable dictator. Here, the author examines the long-overlooked pro-Nationalist argument using new archival sources.
