Beskrivning

In 1937 James Neugass, a poet and novelist praised in the New York Times, joined 2,800 other passionate young men who travelled to Spain as part of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade - an unlikely mix of artists, journalists, industrial workers and intellectuals all united in their desire to combat European fascism. Published now for the first time, War Is Beautiful is poised to take its place among the best war memoirs and is a transcendent contemporaneous rendering of wartime Spain.
