Alvah Bessie's Spanish Civil War Notebooks

"One of the best books to emerge from the Spanish Civil War was Men in Battle by journalist and blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Alvah Bessie. It is a searing account of combat with the International Brigades, those foreign volunteers who flocked to Spain in 1936 and 1937 to fight fascism. With this volume we get a chance to read the real history behind that memoir."

"An excellent collection. . . This book is full of everyday detail - what he eats, the weather, observations on his colleagues, diagrams of how his unit is deployed, and comments on the political situation in Europe as a whole. It is a very human account. . . A must-have for anyone interested in the Spanish Civil War at front-line level."
