Brigadistes: Lives for Liberty

by Jordi Marti-Rueda - £12.99  Pluto Press (2022)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780745347127 | ISBN 10: 0745347126

Sixty illustrated profiles of those who fought in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War.
 
'A real treasure that we can't stop exploring' – La Republica
 
Felicia Browne decided it was time to put down her paintbrushes and pick up a rifle. Jimmy Yates left Chicago with three books in his bindle, sacrificing them all on the gruelling trek across the Pyrenees. Salaria Kea worked at the front as a nurse, judged by her skill rather than her skin colour...
 
In 1936 something extraordinary happened. As the threat of fascism swept across the Iberian peninsula, thousands of people from all over the world left their families and jobs to heed the call - No Pasarán! History has never seen a wave of solidarity like it. The Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 with the Republic crushed, but the revolutionary dream of the International Brigades has never burnt out.
 
Through these 60 illustrated profiles, Brigadistes embroiders an epic story of political struggle with the everyday bravery, sorrow and love of those who lived it.
