Critic's chart: six Spanish civil war books

Thomas Catán named a "critic's chart" of Spanish civil war books for the London Times.

One novel on his list:

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway

Despite flaws, Hemingway's tale of civil war fighters is the most evocative account of life at the front.

Read about the book at the top of Catán's list.
