About this product

Product Information

George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, John Dos Passos, Felicia Browne, John Cornford, Stephen Spender These were just some of the talented, committed and adventure-hungry men and women who travelled to Spain to join the struggle against General Franco's fascist rebellion. Through their personal letters, diaries and memoirs, David Boyd Haycock brings the experiences of these remarkable individuals as well as many lesser-known but equally compelling figures stunningly to life. He describes the mingled excitement and trepidation with which they set out for Spain, and the sheer relief that here at last was a chance to do something against the calamitous threat posed by Fascism. He evokes the glamour and the terror of wartime Barcelona, as Stalin's security forces lethally stifled all dissent and imposed Party orthodoxy. And he charts the painful disillusionment of a generation of men and women as they came to understand their impotence in the face of greater forces. Hemingway described the Spanish Civil War as 'the dress rehearsal for the inevitable European war'. I am Spain is at once a compelling, scrupulously researched account of this pivotal 20th-century conflict, and a tragic, psychologically exact portrait of an extraordinary, passionate and gifted group of men and women whose lives were changed by the experience of war. REVIEWS: 'Haycock's narrative of this entangled, war-defined group is so strong that it often has the force of a novel, hard to put down.' - Guardian, Book Of The Week 'Vivid and entertaining... I greatly enjoyed it' - Michael Holroyd 'Truly fascinating from every angle' - Books Quarterly 'An extraordinary book' - Ronald Blythe 'Endlessly appealing' - Metro

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
