Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A National Review Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Century One of Orwell s very best books and perhaps the best book that exists on the Spanish Civil War. The New Yorker In 1936, originally intending merely to report on the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, George Orwell found himself embroiled as a participant as a member of the Workers Party of Marxist Unity. Fighting against the Fascists, he described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches with a democratic army composed of men with no ranks, no titles, and often no weapons and his near fatal wounding. As the politics became tangled, Orwell was pulled into a heartbreaking conflict between his own personal ideals and the complicated realities of political power struggles. Considered one of the finest works by a man V.S.

This edition features a new foreword by Adam Hochschild placing the war in greater context and discussing the evolution of Orwell s views on the Spanish Civil War.
