A moving anthology of poetry, this collection is devoted to pieces
written by International Brigade volunteers who fought against the
rise of fascism during the Spanish Civil War. Conveying the
idealism and anguish felt by that extraordinary group of men and
women--drawn from all social classes and all parts of Britain and
Ireland--who risked their lives to defend democracy, the poems in
this collection range from jaunty ballads penned in the trenches to
explicit and insightful works of war poetry. Extensive notes and
historical background on the poems and poets couple with verse from
both famous poets--including John Cornford, Laurie Lee, and Sylvia
Townsend Warner--and ordinary people trying to make sense of the
history in which they were participating.
