About This Book
"I wonder what is the appropriate first action when you come from a country at
war and set foot on peaceful soil. Mine was to rush to the tobacco-kiosk and buy
as many cigars and cigarettes as I could stuff into my pockets." Most war
correspondents observe wars and then tell stories about the battles, the
soldiers and the civilians. George Orwell--novelist, journalist, sometime
socialist--actually traded his press pass for a uniform and fought against
Franco's Fascists in the Spanish Civil War during 1936 and 1937. He put his
politics and his formidable conscience to the toughest tests during those days
in the trenches in the Catalan section of Spain. Then, after nearly getting
killed, he went back to England and wrote a gripping account of his experiences,
as well as a complex analysis of the political machinations that led to the
defeat of the socialist Republicans and the victory of the Fascists.
