"... the definitive history of the American volunteers who fought with the 15th International (Lincoln) Brigade of the Spanish Republican Army 1936-1939. ... This book describes the formation of the first Lincoln Battalion and related units. It examines the backgrounds of the men and women (nurses) who went to Spain and tells of their commitment to battle in seven of the major campaigns of the [Spanish Civil] War. Every campaign in which the Lincoln Brigade participated, from its cruel baptism of fire at Jarama in February, 1937, to the last agonized days in 1938 when the Ebro front collapsed, is documented in explicit detail. Every battle is explored with a view to understanding the tides of victory and defeat and the extent of American participation. ... But what gives his book its special immediacy is that he so frequently allows the men of the Lincoln Brigade to tell the story in their own words, in hundreds of colorful excerpts from letters and diaries written on the scene, and in taped interviews that bring thos anguished days poignantly to life." First Edition, First Printing in Dust Jacket, and signed by the author, Arthur H Landis, who fought with the Canadian Battalion of the International Brigade. ; xx, 677 pages; Signed by Author .
