4:35pm ET - The Spanish Civil
War, which raged for three bloody years between 1936 and 1939, both inspired
and haunted a whole generation of artists and writers, including Pablo Picasso,
Ernest Hemingway, and George Orwell and the brutality of the conflict drew from
them some of their best work. However,
the war also spurred breakthroughs in military and medical technology as well,
with new aircraft, weapons, and tactics all emerging throughout this intense
conflict. For the first time in human history indiscriminate destruction
raining from the sky became a dreaded reality, and yet despite this horror progress
also arose: the doctors and nurses who volunteered to serve devised major
advances in battlefield surgery and front-line blood transfusion. In those
ways, and in many others, the Spanish Civil War served as a test case for World
War II, and for the entire twentieth century. Joining us today to talk all about this
bloody conflict and its impact on the world today is Pulitzer Prize winning
historian Richard Rhodes whose new
book Hell and Good Company: The Spanish Civil War and the World It Made tells the remarkable story of
the war through the eyes of the reporters, writers, artists, doctors, and
nurses who witnessed it.
