Our Fathers Fought Franco – 'What comes through persistently... is a sense of how much we have to learn from the past.' ALAN RIACH, The National: Three Volunteers for Spanish Freedom - Softcover
Synopsis
There was no good speaking of the menace of fascism, and not going to fight it myself.
JAMES MALEY, GLASGOW
It was an atmosphere I will never forget – there was the sense of freedom in the air, of workers’ power.
DONALD RENTON, PORTOBELLO
You fight for your beliefs, not medals.
GEORDIE WATTERS, PRESTONPANS
There have been reports that [when we were released] we shouted ‘Long Live Franco’. Not on your life!
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL McASKILL WILLIAMS, PORTSMOUTH
A resonant piece of working class history, this book is a living link to four extraordinary stories. Why did these young men put their lives on the line and go to Spain to fight with the International Brigades?
How did they all end up in the same prison cell?
And what is their legacy today?
