About the book
Peter Kemp recounts his experiences as a young British brigade volunteer who fought in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). With a direct tone free of romanticism, the author documents the chaos, brutality, and moral contradictions of fighting alongside Franco's Nationalists against Republican forces. His narrative offers a unique perspective from a combatant who would later question his own choices.
A valuable historical testimony about one of the conflicts that foreshadowed World War II, written with the honesty of someone who lived through history greater than himself.
