Description
The Irish Brigade's Crusade in Spain By Eoin O'Duffy, published by Reconquista Press in 2019. In the midst of the Spanish Civil War, General Eoin O'Duffy led a volunteer brigade of Irish nationals, who saw their involvement as a Christian crusade against Communism and a fight to preserve Catholic Spain. The Brigade, comprising around 700 men, was formed, trained, and transported to Spain, where they fought on the Nationalist side for about six months. Their experiences were marked by front-line fighting at La Marañosa and Ciempozuelos, resulting in losses of fifteen dead and many wounded. Despite these challenges, General O'Duffy's concern for his men's welfare was evident, as was his patriotic love for Ireland and strong devotion to his Catholic faith. A foreword by historian Michael McCormack adds depth to this account. A nuanced and detailed history of the Irish Brigade's time in Spain, this book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in modern history.
