Guernica: The Crucible of World War II

Author: Gordon Thomas & Max Morgan Witts
Stars: 4
Review by: nanibev

The true, authenticated story of what happened at Guernico during the Spanish civil war.  In spite of a non intervention treaty, German forces, as well as Italian, were very much a part of the conflict.  The elite German Condor Legion wiped out an entire town, basically for "practice".  The orders to ignore civilian populations and bonb indiscriminately are well documented.  A disturbing but insightful read.
