Adam Hochschild is one of the greatest and most engaging chroniclers of the social movements which have organized to fight for a world many didn't even think possible—like the struggle for abolition of slavery in Britain (Bury The Chains) or the genesis of the peace movement (To End All Wars) . Now he has turned to the history of the Americans who risked everything to defend the revolution in Spain against the fascist onslaught while the rest of the world watched. A particularly timely book as we stand in solidarity with the autonomous communities of Rojava fighting fascism on two fronts!
