This most professional drive was executed by having Rightist General Garcia Escamez hotly engage a large Leftist defending force in frontal attack, while Rightist Generals Garcia Valino and Aranda swept around the Leftists' wings, met behind them and then swept on toward the Mediterranean in a 16-mile-wide offensive. Twenty miles of coast, from the outskirts of San Carlos de la Rápita to Peñiscola were in Rightist hands by week...

Instead of trying to repulse Franco by pouring men into the town, Leftists launched four attacks at four separate points in an attempt to cut this road. If any of the four had succeeded...
