Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939)

About This Novel

For three crucial years in the 1930s, the Spanish Civil War dominated the front pages of newspapers in the United States and around the world, and international volunteers flocked to Spain to help its democratic government fight a right-wing coup initiated by Francisco Franco and assisted by Hitler and Mussolini. This was an extremely brutal war that can be regarded to a large extent as the opening battle of World War II, but it was quickly overshadowed by the latter. The author of this book, Adam Hochschild, presents many important figures in the Spanish Civil War, including Hemingway and Orwell, and weaves their fascinating stories together to fully reveal the tragedy and importance of this war.
