Is For Whom the Bell Tolls an accurate portrayal of the Spanish Civil War?

>“All the same it is a good thing to have a grandfather who was a Republican,” the
woman said. “It shows a good blood.”
>“My grandfather was on the Republican national committee,” Robert Jordan said. That
impressed even Maria.
>“And is thy father still active in the Republic?” Pilar asked.
>“No. He is dead.”
>“Can one ask how he died?”
>“He shot himself.”
>“To avoid being tortured?” the woman asked.
>“Yes,” Robert Jordan said. “To avoid being tortured.”
What is the significance of this?

How does For Whom the Bell Tolls rank among Hemingway's works and works on the Spanish civil war in general? Does he side with the communists?
