Excellent book

A great history of the International Brigades, with a wonderful degree of detail on the troops' experiences in each battle. You'll feel like you were there, because he was there. I have to address the other reviewer who is hung up on the author's supposed bias. I guess he longs for a more positive spin on fascism. Good luck with that.

Biased, but ........

Arthur Landis updated version of his earlier book on the Americans in Spain must be read with the same prejudices reserved for many wrtiters directly involved in their subject. Mr Landis served in Spain on the Republican side and this certaily is reflected in this book. That being said it is still a fine read, though suffers from a lack of maps, which would make the battles easier to follow.
