Review: Adam Hochschild’s ‘Spain in Our Hearts,’

Review: Adam Hochschild’s ‘Spain in Our Hearts,’ About a Strangely Literary Conflict - The New York Times: 

Adam Hochschild’s excellent and involving new book, “Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939,” is not primarily a literary or cultural history. It’s about the moral appeal of the war, about the anti-Fascist and frequently pro-Communist idealism that made so many volunteers from the United States and other countries flood into Spain.
