Description: "This book is concerned with the first-hand accounts of those who fought in the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). As such, the war itself necessarily becomes a back-drop to the eyewitness narratives. That said, a broad outline of the war and the international events around it are useful to place those eyewitness accounts into context, and to explain why so many foreigners were fighting in Spain during the Civil War"--Introduction.
