During the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, almost 2,500 men and women left Britain to fight for the Spanish Republic.This book examines the role,experiences and contribution of the volunteers who fought in the British Battalion of the 15th International Brigade,asking who were these volunteers? Where did they come from? Why did they go to Spain? And how much did they actually help the Spanish Republic?
'There is a huge literature on the role of the British volunteers in the International Brigades.Some of it inspirational,some of it deeply moving,yet If I could keep only one book on the subject it would have to be the one by Richard Baxell.No one before or since has managed to weld the huge volume of disorganised and confusing memoir material into a clear and coherent political and military chronology and geography.
Not only is this entirely serious but it is also extremely exciting.Baxell's book is a classic in the making on the Spanish Civil War.' [Paul Preston,Professor of International History at the London School of Economics.
