Including Homage to Catalonia 'Spain not only defined Orwell as an
individual, it also gave him his first glimpse of totalitarianism'
D. J. Taylor, Guardian George Orwell's experience of the Spanish
Civil War had a transformative effect on his life and work. This
volume brings together his complete writings on the war, including
Homage to Catalonia, his searing memoir of fighting in the conflict
and the bitter betrayal that followed. The powerful journalism,
essays, letters and pamphlets also collected here show his
resolution to tell the truth about what happened amid a 'crop of
lies' from both the Communist Party and the British press, while in
'Looking Back on the Spanish War' he remembers the heroism and
decency of the ordinary people he encountered. Edited by Peter
Davison with an Introduction by Christopher Hitchens
