Description
Homage to Caledonia tells the story of Scotland's role in the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that drew 2,300 British volunteers, including over 500 from Scotland. This first book of its kind examines why Scottish involvement was so profound.
The book chronicles events and places through the experiences of these volunteers, tracing their journeys to Spain and back home, as well as their non-combative roles in fundraising and political manoeuvrings within the Scottish left. Using previously unpublished letters and archival items, Daniel Gray sheds new light on little-known stories of courage and challenges accepted versions of events.
With a focus on the human side of the conflict, Homage to Caledonia offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal moment in history, revealing both the hardships and lighter moments faced by Scottish volunteers in Spain.
