Description
The International Brigades: A Tale of Blood and Ideals The Spanish Civil War was a pivotal moment in modern history, pitting democracy against fascism in a battle that drew volunteers from around the world. Over 35,000 men and women from sixty-one countries answered the call to defend freedom against the forces of Franco, Hitler, and Mussolini. Giles Tremlett's magisterial history tells the story of the International Brigades, a volunteer army formed by idealistic young people from diverse backgrounds. Drawing on archival records and first-hand accounts, this book brings to life the human drama of a historic mission to halt fascist expansion in Europe.
