The Spanish Civil War, a precursor to World War II, was a testing
ground of not only political might between feuding factions in
Europe but also military hardware-modern tanks and aircraft from
Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy, for instance. The civil
war, which began in 1936 and ended in 1939, witnessed more than
500,000 deaths. One volunteer was Francisco Perez Lopez, Spanish by
birth but raised in France. He began as a recruit at the age of
twenty and emerged a platoon leader in roadside skirmishes,
firefights in villages and forests, and in the Battle of the Ebro,
the last stand for the Republican cause. He became a prisoner, a
medic, a favorite among nuns, and then an escapee-his feats for
survival are nothing less than genius. Gary Soto's condensed yet
artful and sensitive retelling is a gripping tale of human dignity
and one man's unflagging commitment to justice.
