Hope, resignation, despair, sadness, humour, confusion, ruthlessness, compassion, kindness, generosity and love inhabit Pete Ayrton's anthology of writings from the Spanish Civil War: there is little sense of certainty and still less of triumphalism among the bewilderingly diverse Republican and Nationalist coalitions, all shades of which are represented here. Previous collections privileged the writings of the International Brigades over those of the Spanish, sometimes excluding them altogether. ???No Pasar???n! corrects the balance: by far the largest contingent of its thirty-five writers are Spanish, including Luis Bu???uel, Manuel Rivas, Javier Cercas, Arturo Barea, Joan Sales and Chaves Nogales. The remainder offer contrasting perspectives of participants in the conflict from America (among them John Dos Passos, Muriel Rukeyser and Langston Hughes); Italy (Curzio Malaparte and Leonardo Sciascia); France (Jean-Paul Sartre, Andr??? Malraux and others); Germany (Gustav Regler); Russia (Victor Serge); Great Britain (including Arthur Koestler, George Orwell and Laurie Lee); Cuba, Argentina and Mexico. Pete Ayrton brings together hauntingly vivid stories from a bitterly fought war. This is powerful writing that allows the reader to witness life behind and at the front lines of both sides.

Probably Not the kind of book you would read in one go and only of interest to those who want to learn more about the Spanish Civil War. I choose to read the writings in bits, it shows reflections from both sides of the conflict.
My interest is that I was a visitor to Spain in the mid-50�s to the north of Barcelona which had barely recovered from the destruction and bitterness of the war. The conflict is still unresolved even to this day.
