This book is a new study of the British Battalion of the 15th International Brigade in the Spanish civil war of 1936-1939. In contrast to recent revisionist interpretations, this work stresses the crucial importance of the war experience itself, rather than political ideology, in the understanding of the volunteers' role and experiences within the Spanish war.
