I can highly recommend "Legion Condor" by Ries and Ring (Schiffer Publications). It focusses exclusively on the Luftwaffe involvement but the production quality and variety of photos are peerless.

I like Beevor, he's a good writer.

Me too. I didn't realize he wrote about this war so must go out and get me a copy.

Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell's memoir of fighting for the Republicans with Trotskyite militia POUM, and his realization of the dangerous hypocrisy and duplicity of the Stalinists. I dont remember if it had any maps, it might depend on the edition.

This is a good account of the aircraft used in the conflict. Has a few errors, but a lot of research has gone into it.
