A conversation on the history of the Spanish Civil War, the rise of fascism in Spain, and infighting among the left with Adam Hochschild, author of Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939.
A sweeping history of the Spanish Civil War, told through nine American and British characters including Hemingway and George Orwell. It was a war between fascism, communism, and democracy that preceeded World War II, and a tale of idealism and a noble cause that failed.
