The book is a collection of photos and a memoir by Alec Wainman when he was a volunteer in Civil War Spain with the British Medical Unit (BMU). The memoir gives a detailed account of the war, and the photos show both the volunteers at work and the Republican people who participated or were simply there as witnesses. Serge Altern�s has supplied an introduction, a timeline of the war, an afterword, and captions for the photos.--$cProvided by publisher.
