Publisher description
Ninety thousand foreign volunteers fought for Franco in the Spanish Civil War, but until now their story has never been told.
They were an unlikely collection of men and women: American adventurers and British aristocrats, Peruvian poets, Finnish film stars, debout Irish Catholics, White Russians, Romanian fascists, French monarchists, and Moroccan nationalists. Fighting alongside them were fifteen thousand German and seventy thousand Italian soldiers.
Using memoirs, interviews, and archives, Christopher Othen paints a picture of a continent on the brink of world war.
Christopher Othen studied linguistics, literature, and law and has worked as a journalist, musician, and legal representative for asylum seekers
