The author describes his experiences as a member of the American battalion of volunteers fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
A rich texture emerges in Tisa's book as he deftly intersperses his own memories and journal entries with anecdotes of such notables as Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Herbst, Emma Goldman, and Delores Ibarruri (nicknamed "La Passionaria")....what springs from the pages is the political commitment, idealism, and sheer courage that the volunteers showed in waging "The Good Fight."-The Philadelphia Inquirer
An important addition to the burgeoning literature on american involvement in the Spanish Civil War.-San Francisco Chronicle Review
Tisa's book is excellent in evoking the thrill of a popular crusade-CHOICE
