The Spanish Civil War has had a profound and lasting impact on
Britain. At least 2400 Britons volunteered to fight for the Spanish
Republic (of whom more than 500 died), while others provided
medical assistance, visited Spain in delegations, or covered the
Civil War as journalists. In this collection of three of his
published articles and seven new essays, all based on primary
research, Tom Buchanan sheds light on many facets of this complex
relationship. The book's central themes are the impact of loss on
families and communities, and the importance of Spain itself -- its
history and culture -- in the way that the Civil War was understood
in Britain. Some of the chapters deal with individuals involved in
the Civil War, such as the writer John Langdon-Davies, the artist
Felicia Browne and the journalist GL Steer. Others pursue somewhat
neglected themes, such as the response of British artists to the
war or the role played by British medical personnel. The final two
chapters focus on the long-term impact of the conflict on British
politics and on Britain's relations with Spain since 1939.
