Looking forward to hear a judgement from you about Beevor's book, I am still in the Winter War atm

Am about one-third of the way through
The Battle for Spain. So far and based on my recollections of Thomas'
The Spanish Civil War, the latter goes into more detail as to causes and the turbulent political climate contributing to the war. The former however is far more readable and descriptive and the maps are infinitely better than the first mentioned book. Thomas is dry to the point of being pedantic but am finding Beevor difficult to put down.
Assessment so far, if you intend to read only one book on the subject, you probably would be best served going with
The Battle for Spain.
