Good books on the Spanish Civil War?

by Beelphazoar

If I want to get a decent understanding of the Spanish Civil War, like deeper than Wikipedia but not like I'm writing a thesis on it, what are 2-3 books that cover it well? Ideally, something that includes the military angle, i.e. which groups took which cities at which times and so on, but also something that conveys what it was like for regular people living through this. That might be a tall order, I realize, so I thought I'd ask people who know their stuff.

There are always more recommendations that can be made, but the subreddit's booklist provides a great starting point with several options for you to look into.
