A graphic history featuring the true story of three friends from
Brooklyn who join in the global fight against fascism In this
exhilarating graphic novel about the Spanish Civil War, three
American friends set off from Brooklyn to join in the
fight--determined to make Spain "the tomb of fascism" for the sake
of us all. Together they defy the U.S. government and join the
legendary Abraham Lincoln Brigade, throw themselves into battle,
and conduct sabotage missions behind enemy lines. As Spain is
shattered by the savagery of combat during the Spanish Civil War
(1936-1939), readers see the darkening clouds of the World War to
come. Artist Anne Timmons has created a thrilling graphic novel in
the spirit of the "war comic" genre that appeared after the attack
on Pearl Harbor and the United States' entry into World War II.
Drawing upon the real-life experiences of Lincoln Brigade veteran
Abe Osheroff, writer Miguel Ferguson offers a lively, accessible
resource based on actual events during the Great Depression and the
Spanish Civil War. ¡Brigadistas! will stir the memories of older
audiences who remember the Spanish Civil War as a time of
unparalleled international solidarity and heartbreak, and it will
expose young audiences to the passions, politics, and conflicts of
a bygone era with striking contemporary relevance.
