Spain's cause drew 35,000 volunteers, including 2,800 Americans who formed the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Of the 800 Americans who lost their lives, Hemingway wrote "no men entered earth more honorably than those who died in Spain". For those who witnessed the war in Spain, the defeat of democracy remained, in the words of Albert Camus, "a wound in the heart". This book is essential reading for those interested in the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath.
