Synopsis
The Civil war fought in Spain between 1936 and 1939 was one of the most bloody and bitterly fought military campaigns of the 20th century. Both the loyalist Republican troops and the Nationalists under General Franco used foreign volunteers to supplement their own forces. In the case of the Republicans the Comintern organised the International Brigades, eventually recruiting over 40,000 people. The International Brigades were the Republican forces elite and as such were stationed at the toughest sectors and often led the most desperate attacks. Ken Bradley details the history, recruitment, composition, organisation, uniforms and equipment these brigades.

My book outlines the causes of the Spanish Civil war and goes on to talk about the early militias which several 'Internationals' joined.Some of these formed the basis for the later International Brigades organised by the Comintern.All International Brigades and composite battalions are listed as far as is known together with information on their arms and equipment.This is followed by an outline of all the major battles in which the International Brigades fought. Illustrations include 'uniform',insignia and colours.Many previously unpublished photographs from the International Brigade Archive,London. The book is dedicated to these fighters against fascism. A bibliography guides the reader to other books on the subject.
