Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Spanish Civil War was characterised by the involvement of foreigners. It was Englishmen who arranged the means for General Franco to reach Morocco and lead the rebellion, and when this failed, it was Hitler and Mussolini who provided the aircraft that transported the Army of Africa to Spain. One American was soon describing the conflict as 'a little world war on Spanish soil': German and Italian Fascist troops 'under Franco's banner storm trenches held by French, German and Italian anti-Fascists'. By early 1937, with Russian involvement increasing, Ernest Hemingway was rightly calling it 'the dress rehearsal for the inevitable European war'. Like A Crisis of Brilliance, I am Spain focuses on the experiences of an inter-connected group of individuals some famous, others largely unknown to tell the story of a fascinating period of history. It uses a wide range of original sources, from personal letters, diaries, memoirs and contemporary newspaper reports, to published biographies and autobiographies. The key figures in the book include George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Robert Capa, Claud Cockburn, John Cornford, Tom Wintringham, Martha Gellhorn and Gustav Regler. 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 "It's well known that writers including Cornford, George Orwell, Stephen Spender, WH Auden, John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway went to war, but this is the first book to show clearly who was where when, moving through the war month by month. The results are fascinating. David Boyd Haycock is a skilful historian, providing analyses of the political and military machinations at the same time as he brings the battles to life. And he makes the most of his colourful cast, strewing the narrative with splendidly unlikely tales of quirky heroism. By the end of the book it feels as though almost every eccentric British intellectual found his or her way to Spain." GUARDIAN 'I Am Spain' focuses on the experiences of an interconnected group of individuals - some famous, others largely unkown - to tell the story of the Spanish Civil War.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, 2" repaired cut mark to top front jacket, some very slight fingerprint marking to unlaminated jacket, not price clipped (£25.00), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 400pp, illustrated. 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 less celebrated but equally compelling figures, stunningly to life. He describes the mingled excitement and trepidation with which they set out for Spain, and their 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 dissent and imposed Party orthodoxy. And he charts the painful disillusionment of a generation of men and women as they witnessed the triumph of realpolitik over morality, and 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 moving, psychologically exact portrait of an extraordinary, passionate and gifted group of men and women whose minds and lives were changed by the experience of war. Very scarce signed. Jacket by Dan Mogford (illustrateur). Signed by Author(s).…
