Making Antifascist War - The International Brigades Transnational Encounters With Civil War

"In this study of the 35,000 antifascists who joined the International Brigades to defend the Second Spanish Republic, Adrian Pole traces their cross-cultural encounters with civil-war Spain. He demonstrates how these encounters enabled thousands of transnational actors to define a deeply contentious conflict in their own very particular terms"-- Provided by publisher.
