"Or I'll Dress You in Mourning" by Larry Collins and Dominique LaPierre
(Authors of several books including "The Fifth Horseman") is an excellent
historical novel based on the life of the spanish bullfighter "El Cordobes".
It is backed up by a lot of research and presents a good picture of the
spanish civil war as well as a very interesting story of the life of the
individual.  Once you get started, it's very difficult to put the book
down.  It doesn't deal with all the areas you mentioned, but it seems
to be historically accurate.
