Spain's Civil War, a tune-up for WW II, began in 1936. In three years, 600,000 patriots lay dead. Americans played a role in the conflict and Gerassi has chronicled their experiences. . . . Gerassi interviewed Americans who survived the Spanish Civil War, creating an oral history from those interviews. But the author has done more than that; he has written a social history of the 1930s, providing a window into an era in which radicalism took many forms. His `people's history' of men in arms and why they chose to take them up is most enlightening. Choice
