Solid hardcover. ; Striking memoir of service in British Battalion of the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. "Like so many others, he answered the call to join the International Brigades, and within a few months - after a brief period of training with the British Battalion - was thrown straight into the front line at Jarama when an attempt to contain Franco's advance was completely and disastrously overwhelmed. The Battalion of 600 was devastated - two-thirds of their number were killed on the first day. Although Jason Gurney was in Spain for only nine months before being invalided home ... his experiences - inadequate training, squalid billets, useless weapons, incompetent leadership - bear graphi witness to what those serving with the Brigades had to endure. It was a disillusioning crusade. His own political views had been formed in the radical climate of Chelsea's bohemia; in Spain he learned that vague idealism had no part to play. His account of the fighting - horrifying, moving, always utterly convincing - makes a real contribution to the literature of war." ; 189 pages.
