One of the enduring myths of the Franco state was that the Nationalist forces that won the Civil War consisted of patriotic Spaniards while the Republic was defended by a rag tag army of foreign 'reds.' This book recounts the experiences of a number of foreign volunteers, including the brigades of White Russians, Romanians, Irish and the French.
