Publisher's Synopsis
"Sketches from Spain is a narrative of the prescience and heroism of the American men and women who went to Spain to try to stop Franco's, Hitler's, and Mussolini's Fascism before it inundated Europe and how America deleted it from history, hounding the returning veterans as "subversives." It is also a love letter to the remarkable individuals who died and survived that tragic conflict, much of it in the poetry of the combatants' own words.
