This is exactly the kind of citation I was looking for. It has enough clues to follow for quite awhile. Thank you.
Let me recommend "The Cypresses Believe in God," (Los cipreses creen en Dios), the epic Spanish Civil War trilogy by Jose Maria Gironella. It heartbreakingly lays out the conflicts before, during, and immediately after the war, by following the fortunes of one family in the Catalan province. Through them, you get a sympathetic, almost intimate view of every major faction involved: anarchist, Communist, Catholic, royalist, fascist, existentialist, and others.
It's a book I lay next to my heart.

Hemingway was but one useful idiot during the Spanish Civil War. Another was the morally deficient Pablo Picasso whose painting Guernica was a propaganda piece intended to showcase the cruelty and inhumanity of the Nationalists. The multimillionaire Picasso formally joined the Communist Party in 1944.
