(us) Lori Lee
Like Orwell and Hemingway, Lori Lee was an eyewitness of the Spanish Civil War. In December 1937, the young man decided to fight for the Republican Army. He left England, crossed the Pyrenees Mountains in the wind and snow, and entered Spain as a volunteer of the International Brigade. Unexpectedly, he was immediately arrested as a spy by "one of his own people" and fell straight into a dangerous fate and bitter melee... In this gripping memoir, he uses a sincere and simple attitude to reveal the unknown conditions and black absurdities of the Spanish Civil War, and writes about the death of a young man's idealism. This book is the final chapter of Lori Lee's "autobiographical trilogy" following "Rosie and Cider" and "When I Run Away One Midsummer Morning".
