Oke, me know underständ!
I wasn't sure if you were looking for something objective and thus not wanting to read stuff from biased sources.
@Randomizer:
You can already see Orwell's beginning disillusion in the second part of Wigan's Pier, where he slags off the polical left. He descibes them as naive, pale vegetarians, disattached form the problems of the working man,
seems like not too much has changed... - says the vegetarian, lefty Penguin
.
One little nitpicking: Orwell fought among the POUM together with Spanish fighters, he was
supposed to fight in the International Brigades later, but as far as I remember he didn't join them as he fled from Spain at this time.
And damn you, Herr B. - now my interest in the Spanish civil war is fueled again, my purse will curse you!
