Description
The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was a defining social issue of its time. Fascist régimes in Germany, Italy and Portugal posed a threat to Western democracy, while the young socialist Soviet Union also feared an axis of forces that could endanger it. Millions around the world responded to the call, with volunteers streaming in from various lands, representing different political tendencies such as Communist, Trotskyist, Socialist, anarchist, syndicalist and Republican. The International Brigade, which included a contingent from the United States known as the Abraham Lincoln Battalion, played a significant role in the conflict. The response of neighboring Portugal to the Spanish Civil War is largely overlooked in historical accounts, making this book an interesting addition to our understanding of the period.
