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. |
You're right of course and I stand corrected, thanks for setting the record straight. Have not read
Homage to Catalonia for some time and that's what happens when one relies on a flawed memory.
The hardest thing in researching the war in Spain was getting the alphabet soup of the political factions down correctly!
This thread has brought the Spanish War back into my sights as well so I now have Beevor's book ordered from the local library.
