Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. Romilly's firsthand account of his service with the International Brigades during the defence of Madrid in 1936, culminating in the disastrous fighting at Boadilla del Monte. Aged eighteen, the rebellious nephew of Clementine Churchill, Romilly left England in October 1936, travelled by bicycle across France and made his way to Spain, where he joined the English speaking group of the German Thälmann Battalion (the Spanish Civil War began in July 1936). In December 1936 the unit was transferred to Boadilla, where it came under intense fire during a Nationalist offensive. Of approximately forty members of the English speaking group, only seventeen successfully retreated and seven British volunteers were killed. Romilly survived but contracted dysentery and was invalided back to England in January 1937. Written soon afterwards, Boadilla is both a remarkably immediate account of combat and a memorial to the young men who did not return. Romilly's politics are inseparable from his experience: a runaway from Wellington College and coauthor, with his brother Giles, of Out of Bounds, he had become an outspoken opponent of fascism, militarism and the conservative establishment. His decision to fight for the Spanish Republic placed him in direct opposition to the politics of much of his own social background. The book is consequently as much a document of youthful political adventure. After returning to England, Romilly met Jessica Mitford. The two soon eloped and travelled to France; Romilly wrote Boadilla during their honeymoon. The couple subsequently hoped to return to Spain, but were unable to secure the necessary visa. Initial sales were poor, and the first edition is now remarkably elusive in commerce, particularly in the original dust jacket. Romilly's account has since acquired considerable historical importance as a primary source for the early involvement of British volunteers in the Spanish Civil War and has been used by historians including Paul Preston, Hugh Thomas and Antony Beevor. Romilly later served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. He died on 30 November 1941 when his aircraft failed to return from a bombing raid over Germany, aged only twenty-three.
