The New York Times on atrocities during the Spanish Civil War

Look how the New York Times reports on the Spanish Civil War:  "Historians have been skeptical of that claim, however. And Francoists, who also committed wartime atrocities, continued to blame Mr. Carrillo, calling him guilty of “red barbarism.”"  Yet, the recent definitive history of the war by Paul Preston makes it clear that most atrocities were committed by the fascist side:  "Of the 200,000 estimated civilian wartime executions, more than 49,000 took place in Republican territory — a much smaller toll than that taken by the fascists, but still enormous."
