In July 1936, at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, 1800 Nationalists barricaded themselves in the Alcazar, Spain's chief military academy, in Toledo. For 10 weeks, cut off from help and outside supplies, they resisted a Republican siege in one of modern history's most extraordinary demonstrations of stubborn courage. This book is an engrossing objective chronicle of human velour and resourcefulness.
