Seller's Description:
New. 5.5 x 0.6 x 8.5 inches. pp. 240. New. Pristine, unmarked. The International Brigades were organized by the Comintern to support the Popular Front during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. Composed of dedicated and brave volunteers, many of them communists, they came from across Europe, from Britain and the United States, fighting on the Republican side as elite assault troops in the early battles of the Spanish Civil War, suffering grievous losses at the Jarama, Teruel, and at the Ebro. Intended to complement Soviet military materiel aid to the Republic, the International Brigades were finally withdrawn in 1938, although many foreign volunteers, including George Orwell, remained with political militias. These were finally destroyed by NKVD terror squads in Stalin's drive to completely Sovietize the Republican side. George Orwell managed to escape after being wounded by the "Chekists" but thousands more were not so lucky. Stalin purged and executed most of the Russian staff and advisors when they returned home after the war. // Shipped carefully packed in a sturdy box.
