Are there any tankier english language books about the USSR’s involvement in Spain?

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Meanwhile, the supposed “democracies” of Europe, decided to not support another European democracy from defending itself against a fascist uprising, except with the use of mildly-worded proclamations.
In fact, many of them went ahead to actively ban people from volunteering to fight on the side of the Republican forces.
As a spaniard, its pretty clear that the anarchists going their own way in catalonia hurt the war effort and costed the republicans the industrial north, since they couldnt mobilize in time.
Then, fighting as two separate entities would make winning impossible, so they had to be put in line to fight alongside the rest of republican spain.
You’d think if Stalin wanted fascists to win, he wouldn’t have sent the republican army armaments, munitions, volunteers, tanks, aircraft, training officers, etc. But instead done what other western “freedom and democracy is important to us” countries did and stuck his hands in his pockets, shrugged, and say “good luck lmao”
These people have the ideology of hyper-individualistic narcissistic professional victimhood. The living embodiment of the persecution complex
