Welsh miners made up one of the largest contingents within the
British Battalion of the International Brigades in the Spanish
Civil War. Coming from the valleys all across South Wales, they
brought with them a political tradition unique in Britain in its
combination of trade union militancy, radical extra-parliamentary
activity and internationalism. Hywel Francis draws on a wide
variety of contemporary sources to paint a vivid picture of the
tumultuous politics of South Wales in the 1920s and 1930s - the
context for the decision made by so many to volunteer. The book
describes the process of volunteering, the militant role played by
the Welsh volunteers, and the mass movements of political
solidarity with Spain within Wales. It also includes many
illustrations, and reproduces letters written by volunteers to
their relatives and friends back in Wales. This updated 2012
edition includes a new preface and a newly compiled complete list
of all Welsh volunteers.
